Giving@First 2025
We're bringing Giving@First back!
Six short plays were written, rehearsed, and performed within just 25 hours! It is a unique opportunity for our troupe to show off their abilities under pressure, and a unique opportunity to give to a good cause and enjoy a night of truly original theatre.
All proceeds collected at this event will be given to the Mutual Aid of Medford and Somerville (MAMAS), which is dedicated to showing up in our communities & pooling resources to make sure everyone has what they need.
Performance
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 8pm
A recording is available on our YouTube channel!
All proceeds from the evening ($2,725) went to MAMAS.
Location
Giving@First was presented at Unity Somerville, 6 William Street, Somerville.
