Last year, I applied for grants for the first time — and I won most of them. The shows I produced with that support went beyond what I ever imagined. This year feels different: fewer grants are available, and the mood is “hurry up and wait,” like we’re all holding our breath while cutting back. For now, I can cover a lot myself, but who knows what the future will bring. If you’ve enjoyed a show, I’d be grateful for your support: tip if you can, share these updates, or tell me what’s resonating with you.
