Boomerang Theatre Company is committed to making great Indie Theater!

We are back in Central Park with our 22nd FREE outdoor Shakespeare production—Richard II! This epic tale of power, identity, and destiny is the fourth play in our ambitious nine-play "Super Season," running from 2023-2026. And we need your help to make it happen by joining our "2 for You" campaign!

Why Your Support Matters

Every summer, thousands of New Yorkers and visitors gather under the open sky to experience the magic of Shakespeare—free of charge. Your donation directly funds:

🎭 Actors & Artists – Ensuring fair wages for the talented performers and crew who bring this story to life.
🎭 Costumes & Props– Creating a stunning visual world on a grassroots budget.
🎭 Production Essentials – From permits to marketing, we bring the theatre to the park everyday!

Our Goal: $3,000 by Opening Night!

Your generosity makes this production possible. Whether you give $10 or $500, every dollar ensures that free Shakespeare thrives in NYC.

💛 $25 covers a costume piece.
💛 $50 helps with rehearsal space.
💛 $100 supports an actor’s weekly stipend.
💛 $250+ makes you a true patron of the arts!
