Please make a gift to Southern Rep’s $100,000 Matching Campaign to establish a new “Directors’ Fund.” Through the generosity of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, every dollar given (up to $50,000) will be matched, dollar for dollar. And right now, every dollar is critical. Why are we launching the $100,000 Fund? Southern Rep has entered its 25th Anniversary Season, while many of our friends and neighbors have had to close their doors. Now is the time to establish this much needed fund to assure a stronger and healthier company. This fund is essential in enabling us to continue to create award-winning professional world premiere productions, as well as projects like our YO NOLA free after school program, our Ruby Prize new play contest, and our new play development activities that give more than one hundred emerging artists the chance to workshop new plays every year. Make your tax-deductible donation today, and help us keep bringing great theatre to New Orleans!

Programs supported by your gift include:
Season of Premieres
Each season, Southern Rep introduces New Orleans audiences to new plays by modern American playwrights. Recent past seasons have featured premieres from Louisiana playwrights John Biguenet, Anne Galjour, Jim Fitzmorris and Barret O’Brien. We commissioned new plays, as well, through our membership in the National New Play Network. You’ve also experienced regional premieres by the hottest playwrights around, including Rebecca Gilman, David Lindsay-Abaire, Dael Orlandersmith, and Lynn Nottage plus you’ve seen plays by seasoned, award-winning writers such as Edward Albee, David Sedaris, and Christopher Durang on our stage. If it’s new and intriguing, it’s at Southern Rep.
SRT Free Student Matinee Program
Southern Rep offers high school students in the greater New Orleans area to see our productions for free at weekly Wednesday matinees. We work with teachers by sending them copies of the script and study guides in advance of the production. After the show, students have the chance to meet and ask questions of the cast and artistic staff.
Academy SRT Tuition Scholarships
Southern Rep offers theatre classes for children and adults throughout the year. These classes are taught by professional teaching artists and can range from mask-making or theatre games for young kids to Suzuki training for the professional actor. Our offerings change each semester as we see where the needs of the community beckon. We’ve recently instituted scholarships to assist those students who cannot afford these classes but could so benefit from participating.
