Occupy Prescott1/12/2021 Dear friends, The world’s stakes are so terribly high right now. Last week’s attack on the Capitol Building, and by extension our Democracy, was terrifying and revealing. We have so much work to do if we are to defeat white supremacy and the brutality of capitalism. Change (on seemingly every front) is needed right now. How do we unify in the fight for a better world? How do we achieve consensus and can we afford to wait that long? Next fall, 10 years after the Occupy Wall Street, Theater in Asylum will produce Andy Boyd’s Occupy Prescott. The play follows five very different activists as they try to formulate their demands and reach consensus in how to achieve a more equitable country. With all that’s happening today, the questions, dilemmas, and dueling priorities in this play are precisely what we need now. If you are in a position to, please consider supporting our 2021 Season so that we may bring Occupy Prescott, and the rest of our programs, to our community. Thank you so much.
Love, Paul, Katie, Kathryn, and Hilarie

You hungry?1/5/2021 Dear friends, Hope your year is off to a good start! We are thrilled that our first Cold Reading of the year is tomorrow and that things are moving in 2021! Fingers crossed for a happy news cycle this week after today’s runoff in Georgia and tomorrow’s electoral vote count in Washington… Wooo! We have lots of tasty treats to celebrate with (or stress-eat!) and it all supports a good cause! Our 2021 Season fundraiser is underway and we’ve already raised over a third of our goal! See below for some of the delicious perks to our fundraiser. Love, Paul, Katie, Kathryn, and Hilarie Theater in Asylum's 2020 Year in Review12/31/2020 2020 Major Events

Our Plans for 2021
* We are planning our two productions and one cabaret to have multiple presentation options. Outdoors? Online? We are keeping safety top-of-mind, with multiple contingency plans and flexibility as the health situation in NYC changes. Thank you so much for all your support in 2020. The year was wild and difficult but there were still plays and people and memories that we are so grateful for. May all of us have a healthy and happy new year!
