At New Fortune, we believe stories and art are an integral part of human existence and education. We believe access to stories and art is a human right and a public good. If you share our belief, please consider contributing here. This page funds New Fortune's creation of free, public programming. Make a tax-deductible donation or DAF gift here in just 3 clicks.

It takes a huge amount of time, thought, and energy to create any successful, live public program. And here at New Fortune, we work with world-class live performance artists and excellent community partners to make breathtaking, thought-provoking, shared experiences that are free to the public because contributors like you make it possible.

The impact of your support here is not just on New Fortune's art-making organization. Your support here impacts New Fortune's ability to create events that are destinations for people of all kinds to come together around meaningful works of art, at no charge. You are supporting a hub for ideas worth thinking about, and artistic feats worth doing (and ideas worth doing, and artistic feats worth thinking about)!

AND IT'S EASY TO SUPPORT THIS WORK. You can donate any amount right here as an individual or on behalf of a company (corporate). And, understanding DAF (donor advised fund) gifts can be time-consuming for the gift-giver, you can give a DAF gift from this page in just 3 clicks!

And come see New Fortune's next public program for yourself! Up next!...

November 10th, at the San Diego Central Library, come witness "THE DOVER PANDA TRIAL" by John de Lancie (Q) and Kristen Tregar (Ph.D)!

Hot on the heels of our re-Creation of The Scopes Monkey Trial (1925), where a teacher was sued for teaching Evolution in Dayton, TN… We turn our attention to Dover, PA and The Panda Trial (2005), where a school board was sued for requiring the teaching of a new "science" called “Intelligent Design" alongside the science of Darwin in 9th grade classrooms.

Join NEW FORTUNE and special GUEST STAR, JOHN de LANCIE (as Judge Jones), in our STAGED READING of “THE DOVER PANDA TRIAL” followed by a PANEL DISCUSSION on how these issues have EVOLVED over time into OUR CURRENT EVENTS! Details at www.newfortunetheatre.com

This public program will be brought to you by the New Fortune Theatre Co. with the invaluable support of The Library Foundation of San Diego, the Friends of the San Diego Public Libraries, and the San Diego Central Library.

Thank you for your consideration and YOUR SUPPORT!
