Your Support at Work
Dear Friends,
We couldn’t have done it without you. Harlem Stage continued to thrive and grow last year, in no small part, with the support of our many institutional and individual donors. It was an exceptional year marking major accomplishments which include:
• commissioning 17 artists of color to create 14 new works;
• presenting 589 artists in 57 performances
• launching our explosive new series “Uptown Nights” to sold out audiences;
• launching the “My Harlem Stage” membership program with 400+ new members;
• serving 10,000 school children;
• reaching our $250,000 goal for the Double Time Challenge.
The numbers are just numbers; impressive, yes, but each one measures a remarkable impact. I am pleased to present this annual report which highlights the extraordinary work of our artists, staff, and board of directors - delivering exceptional programming to our ever-expanding, enthusiastic community. Take a look inside and join us for our next season.
With appreciation,
Pat Cruz
