HELP SUPPORT US

Since you’re here, we have a small favour to ask. Intermission, created by The Company Theatre, has now reached the end of our funding agreement with the Metcalf Foundation.

We in no way want to wind down the theatre coverage we offer—in fact, we have big plans to grow and are committed to being a reliable platform for theatre artists and theatre lovers. But to help us get there, we need support. If everyone who reads Intermission, and who finds value in what we publish, chips in a bit, our future would be much more secure. Please consider donating so we can keep working hard to give you the theatre arts journalism that is needed and wanted.
