The Role YOU Play at SpeakEasy!
Thanks to exciting and contemporary source material and talented local artists, SpeakEasy shows spark conversations that continue long after audiences leave the theater. But producing high-quality theatre that connects and inspires the community is only one facet of the work we do at SpeakEasy. Thanks to our incredible donors, foundation partners, and producers; SpeakEasy is able to cultivate emerging artists, reduce barriers to attendance, work toward achieving cultural equity, and produce stunning and thought-provoking work. With your support, SpeakEasy Stage can continue to be the South End’s premiere artistic and cultural destination.
SpeakEasy Stage is thrilled for our 34th season, with a co-production of a Tony Nominated play, multiple New England Premieres and all with amazing and touching stories.
SpeakEasy Stage partners with local schools and advocacy groups to provide carefully curated student matinees at a discounted or zero-cost rate. Collaborating with teachers, we also offer curriculum packets and post-show discussions that challenge students to think critically about their experiences.
At SpeakEasy Stage, we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive, accessible environment, welcoming everyone who wants to partake in our art, while treating all involved with respect.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel the power of live theatre and that means offering the greatest access possible to our programs. Last season, we provided over 1,000 underwritten and discounted tickets to more than two dozen community organizations, schools and youth groups and we remain committed to adding accessibility services for patrons with disabilities – producing over 25 Accessible performances per season.
In recognition of Thomas Derrah’s eternal dedication to teaching and the inspiration he provided to hundreds of students and young artists every day, SpeakEasy Stage Company has created The Thomas Derrah Emerging Artists Fund.
SpeakEasy is dedicated to fulfilling our goals set forth in our equity strategic plan – SpeakEasy’ Stage CompanyEquity & Anti-Racism Action Plan (SEARAP 2.0). These goals range from providing board and staff training, ensuring the safety of our actors, fostering conversations around our productions, and providing jobs to dramaturgs and cultural consultants for culturally specific art.
