The Urbanite Seeks Support During COVID-19

Coconut Telegraph

Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty surrounding stay-at-home orders and bans on public gathering, The Urbanite has not been able to rehearse, build or administer any theatrical productions. As a result, they have postponed all programming for April, May and June, at the very least. They're now facing more than $100,000 in lost ticketing revenue.

How can you help?
Participate in The Giving Challenge on April 28th. With all gifts being matched up to $100 by the Patterson Foundation, along with tens of thousands of dollars in awards available, this 24-hour window of giving could be the single most important day in their short history.

How do you participate?
All you'll have to do is visit our Giving Challenge page on April 28th at noon.
