Our Story
In April of 2011, co-founders,
Lindsey Larkin and Ryan Sprague created Loaf Theatre Company. Their
goal was to contribute a fresh new take on the Off-Off Broadway
movement and bring new theatre to a hungry and eager audience. Around
the same time as their inception, Ryan's play, Reach, was chosen to
be produced by Manhattan Repertory Theatre in their 2012 Winter
Festival of New Plays. Grabbing the opportunity by the horns, Ryan
and Lindsey decided to co-produce the show in association with
Manhattan Rep. In February, the play will premiere on 42nd street,
marking the debut of Loaf Theatre, and the beginning of a growing
company with the passion, talent, and resources to make GREAT
theatre.
Mission
Loaf
Theatre is a New York City based company committed to producing new
plays by both emerging and seasoned playwrights, both published and
unpublished. We are looking for an emphasis on forward thinking
issues, though we are very open minded when it comes to content. So
if you feel you have something that interests us, please don't
hesitate to contact us. We know how challenging this business can be
for young actors, directors, designers, and writers, and that is
exactly why this company was created. We hope to grow and we hope to
entertain, but most importantly, we hope to create.
What We Need & What You
Get
We
have set a goal of $500 for this specific production with Loaf
Theatre Company. With this amount, we strongly feel that we can
purchase the props we need, the set pieces we hope to design. But
most importantly, your contributions will be used to help pay for our
audition space, rehearsal space rental, and various printing costs.
Example: Scripts, Programs, Postcards. Every penny will be used to
make this production come to life. And for some ungodly reason, if
there is money left over, it will be put directly in to our next
production at Loaf Theatre Company. You will be notified if this
happens to be the case. Lindsey and Ryan also plan on having a
fundraiser in early February in midtown Manhattan. For more
information about this event, you can contact the company at
Loaftheatrecompany@gmail.com.
Perks for your Donations
For
your contributions, you will be rewarded! Perks include such things
as being credited in our production program, receiving signed
programs, free tickets to our production and/or season, and an
honorary spot on our Company Members section of our website. The
higher your donation, the better the perks! The perks are the way we
thank you for your generous donations. But the best perk is knowing
you helped our dreams come to fruition
