Support Community-Driven Theatre with A Gift

After a 6 year hiatus, The Ume Group is BACK… bringing original, community-driven theatre to communities across the United States with their new show PASSING.

Winner of a Artist Development Grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts National Theatre Project and finalist for their Creation & Touring Grant program, The Ume Group’s PASSING is on track for a two-week developmental residency and work-in-progress showing this November 2024 in New York City! (To learn more about the show, click here.)

The best part? You can support the work with a donation. (Now tax-deductible thanks to our fiscal sponsorship by Coin & Ghost theater in Los Angeles!)
