Our next Giving Tuesday campaign highlight is Pitchblack Immersive Experiences, who create immersive, multi-sensory theatrical workshops and performances that break down barriers to arts access—whether sensory, social, linguistic, or financial. Learn more and donate: pitchblackexperience.com/support
A dark stage background is lit by three overhead spotlights shining onto the centered text “Pitch Black 2026 Immersive Experiences.” Below, white and pink text highlights the project as multi-sensory, multilingual, and unforgettable, followed by a progress bar showing funds raised. Donation totals and the project website, pitchblackexperience.com, appear at the bottom.

Our next Giving Tuesday campaign highlight is ADVANCE-MORE Opera!

They shared the following in this thread ⬇️

We are an opera-producing nonprofit organization in New York City that brings free concerts, opera, and choir rehearsals to different underserved communities across NYC.
A large multigenerational ensemble poses on a stage in front of blue curtains, arranged in several rows of seated and standing performers. People of varied ages, genders, and backgrounds smile toward the camera, with some holding flowers or standing behind music stands. The lighting casts a warm, celebratory glow over the full group.

Join us at The Big Give on Thur, Dec. 4: bit.ly/2025TheBigGive

You don’t need to have applied for a Pay Your People grant to attend. It is for anyone who wants to celebrate indie theater.

While the in-person event is at capacity, we have space on Zoom for you to join and connect with others!
A solid purple background features oversized white text reading “The Big Give” stacked vertically on the left. The IndieSpace logo appears in a small outlined square in the upper left corner, and event details on the right list December 4, 2025 at Judson Memorial Church with in-person and virtual attendance. The design is clean, bold, and high-contrast.

We continue sharing Giving Tuesday campaigns from members of the IndieSpace community. This is a way to amplify and share some of the great organizations and work happening in indie theater.

Today, we are featuring NOoSPHERE Arts. They shared the following message in the thread below.
A performer stands on a rooftop, framed by a dramatic circular costume made of translucent pleated fabric in bright pink, yellow, and soft white. The material fans out like an enormous flower or set of wings, glowing in the sunlight. The person peeks through the center of the costume, wearing a sparkling green dress. Behind them are industrial rooftop fixtures, a curved metallic building, and a distant city skyline under a clear sky.

Today (and every day), we are thankful for the NYC indie theater community.

This year has been hard. And we are continually uplifted by the resilience and creativity of our community.

These photos are from the Friendsgiving gathering we hosted last week.

We are grateful for each of you!

For the next week, we’ll be sharing Giving Tuesday campaigns from members of the IndieSpace community. This is a way to amplify and share some of the great organizations and work happening in indie theater.

Today, we are featuring Theater Mitu! They shared the following in this thread.
A large white circle with the Theater Mitu logo sits at the center of the image, partially transparent so the scene behind it shows through. In the background, people work inside a darkened performance space with a curved projection screen displaying fields of tall grasses under a blue sky. The word “SUPPORT” appears in wide-spaced white letters across the bottom.
