SOME GREAT NEWS: An incredible pool of devoted supporters offered to MATCH every dollar we raised in the last two weeks of the month up to $10,000. Thanks to everyone who answered that challenge so generously, WE MADE IT!! We're so grateful to everyone who has pitched in to help ensure the Harbor has a bright, bold future. |
And we want to offer a special thanks to these contributors to our Matching Fund, who helped our community double the impact of their donations:

A little more about why we need to SHORE UP THE HARBOR
and how you can help...
and how you can help...
For 12 incredible seasons we’ve been operating an artist-run experiment in serious fun. Our actors, writers, directors, and designers have doubled as our bookkeepers, carpenters, bartenders, and piano tuners; we poster, we paint, we pick up slack. This holistic approach has taught us so much about our collaborations, our community, and our tolerance for lower back pain. We love what we do and how we do it and we think it shows.
Still, after thirty-six productions, ten staged readings, eight special events, fifteen temporary housing solutions, one global pandemic, and an unstemmed tide of crushing inflation, we’re in need of some reinforcements. Maybe you weren’t expecting the same person who handed you your tickets at the box office this summer to show up onstage five minutes later. Maybe you’d be surprised to learn that our weekly salary is just $20 more than it was when we started working together a decade ago, or that all of our administrative tasks (including pithy fundraising campaigns like this) are handled by our core ensemble members. Like good Cape Codders, we’ve held our ground as the landscape around us has changed, but the plain truth is: if we want to maintain our integrity onstage, we need to increase our resources off. We need to expand our staff and invest in our building, and we need your help to do both.
If you were wowed or moved or inspired or delighted by the work we shared this summer (or the summer before that, or the summer before that…), please consider contributing to next year’s start-up fund. We’re eager to build a system that will support and sustain the artists who’ve been supporting and sustaining the Harbor.
