Remake a world
La MaMa successfully completed the renovation of its landmark building at 74 East 4th Street in 2023. The project has been awarded The New York Landmarks Conservancy's prestigious Lucy G. Moses Award, as well as Village Preservation's coveted Regina Kellerman Award. We're delighted to announce that we also recently received a $300,000 gift from the Thompson Family Foundation.
The project was fully funded thanks to your support, along with the support of New York City, New York State, and private foundations. However, the pandemic and related price hikes, supply chain issues, and work stoppages have caused a $3.5 million funding gap.
We need your support to raise the remaining $3.5 million. Help us close the gap today.

The building is a tremendous asset to La MaMa’s ever-expanding community in the East Village and beyond. It provides smaller spaces where new artists of all identities can develop their creative process without the pressure of commercial success. With new digital tools, the artists’ work reaches beyond the four walls of the theatre. Collaboration and dialogue with remote communities around the world is a reality. And, with ADA certification including a new elevator, we are able to welcome community members and artists of all abilities into the new building.
We hope you will consider a donation today! If you are interested in a naming opportunity, please contact La MaMa managing director, Mary Fulham, at mary@lamama.org.
