Support Irondale

IRONDALE EXISTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF ART, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.

Your support helps us move forward with programs such as:

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE

SUPPORT

Your gift will support: the next big Ensemble production, our Youth Programs and To Protect, Serve and Understand - the groundbreaking program where police officers and civilians learn to communicate through theatre. And because we believe that art is so necessary to the life and health of a community we will make all tickets as close to being FREE, as we possibly can. New York City budget cuts have taken a chunk out of our budget and the only way we can make them up at this point in the year is with your help.

Please make a tax-deductible donation to Irondale today.
