Brelby Theatre Company forms Non Profit Organization

from our friends at Brelby:

The Brelby Foundation is a new non-profit organization founded in Glendale to help promote the arts and promote community outreach through theatre in Arizona. The foundation is hosting their initial fundraising drive now through the end of the month to raise money for artists stipends and theatre maintenance.

The organization fulfills its mission of artistic and community outreach by supporting the Brelby Theatre Company, a local community theatre in its tenth season of showcasing new and original works in the state. For the past ten years, the Brelby Theatre Company has been known for creating original and provocative works and giving new artists a platform to shine. Showing right now is their Second Annual Night of Shorts, a show featuring six original one-act plays written by, directed by, and starring local artists. Putting on these original works is just one example of the dedication Brelby Theatre Company shows towards ensuring all artists in the Valley have a safe space to create and thrive. The Brelby Foundation was created this year to maintain the theatre and promote community and education in the arts by supporting events such as the Night of Shorts and others.

In order to do this, the first fundraising drive of the foundation is occuring now through the month of January. Information can be found at www.youcaring.com/brelby, where you can read a letter from the board and find payment details. Any money raised will go towards paying local artists and writers stipends to ensure they can continue creating works they are passionate about, maintaining the theatre so art is accessible to more patrons, and promoting community outreach events such as public performances. For more information, contact Devan Orr, Secretary at foundation@brelby.com, or visit www.brelby.com/foundation.
