Overview
The Fresh Grind Festival is proud to present ten new works at Theaterlab in New York City from January 18th-January 22nd, 2017. Donate to this campaign to help pay artists for their talent and hard work!

Welcome

Hello, my name is George Simon and I'm the Executive Producer at Black Coffee Productions. As a producer, one of my primary missions to develop new, original work in an age where revivals and spin-offs dominate the Broadway stage. I loved the idea of giving up-and-coming writers, directors, designers, and performers a chance to present new work in New York City. I created the Fresh Grind Festival to do just that. It is an excellent opportunity to collaborate, to explore, to develop, and to network. Each selected work will receive public staged readings at Theaterlab, a gorgeous white-box space in midtown. All pieces in the festival will also be considered for further development by Black Coffee Productions. 

Festival Line-up

Check out are awesome line-up of plays and musicals:

Fund the Artists

Your donation will help compensate artists involved for their talent and hard work. Many organizations fail to pay artists, but Black Coffee Productions strongly believes in compensation, and would love to appropriately pay the artists participating in the festival. The more money fundraised, the more participants get paid. Additional funds raised may be used for other festival expenses, including script printing, rental costs, etc. Here's a chart to illustrate how the funds raised will be distributed:

The Impact

Your donation will help compensate close to one hundred participants in the festivals from across the country. Such participants include:

  • Writers
  • Directors
  • Non-equity Performers
  • Designers
  • Stage Management and Administrative Staff
  • Festival Interns

The Fresh Grind Festival is also proudly comprised of participants from diverse backgrounds. Black Coffee Productions is committed to representing the diversity in ethnicity, race, and gender identity of our city and our world.
