SUPPORT NOOR THEATRE

What a year it has been. This past year, we returned to live theatre through a successful world premiere of SEVAN’s play First Down at 59E59 Theaters —and we expanded our commissioning initiative by supporting five writers working in different mediums.

Since Noor’s founding 12 years ago, the company has grown and evolved, bridging multiple generations of artists. Core artists who were part of Noor from its inception have gone on to create work here in NYC, across the country, and worldwide. And now new and emerging artists have entered the fold, creating exciting work that has begun to impact the larger community. We’re grateful to be able to bridge these generations as we continue serving our growing list of artists and supporters.

Simultaneously, we’ve been reflecting on what it means to act as both a theatre company and an advocate for our MENA/SWANA community. As we witness and reckon with recent injustices in Iran, Egypt, Palestine, and beyond, Noor’s commitment to bridging art and activism feels more vital than ever.  As we stand in solidarity with those on the ground, we also seek to support artists from the inflicted communities here in the diaspora as they create art for the revolution. Most recently, Noor partnered with The Freedom Theatre to showcase the work of Palestinian artists and the power of art as a tool for resistance. We look forward to offering more programming like this in the coming year that connects artmaking and the fight for social justice.

However, our work wouldn’t be possible without YOU, our supporters and champions. 

Please help Noor reach its $10,000 goal so we can continue to support urgent, necessary art— both here and abroad. Your support will go directly toward supporting new initiatives— such as play commissions, artist cohorts, and resource sharing— as we grow our programming and efforts to meet our community. 

Thank you all from the Noor team.
