Join us for Prologue: A Season Kickoff Fundraiser to Benefit ASP’s Student Matinee Series
Presented by Actors’ Shakespeare Project | Watertown, MA

Join us for an unforgettable evening of theater, community, and purpose as we rally to keep the magic of Shakespeare & classic works alive for Boston’s youth. “Prologue” will be a spirited fundraising celebration in support of ASP’s Student Matinee Series—a vital program that brings thousands of students into the world of live Shakespeare each year.

This season, a significant funding shortfall caused by a loss from the NEA threatens to silence these powerful student performances. But together, we can ensure the show goes on.

Step into the story:

Sip cocktails and enjoy Shakespeare-inspired hors d'oeuvres in an immersive atmosphere
Mingle with ASP actors, directors, and local theater education champions
Hear first-hand from students and teachers whose lives have been transformed by our matinee program and youth programming
Take part in an exciting raffle featuring a chance to win a walk-on role in one of our upcoming productions!
Experience a meaningful live performance from ASP professional actors and students that reaffirms why this work matters

Why it matters:
For many young people, ASP’s matinees are their first—and sometimes only—exposure to live theater. These performances spark empathy, curiosity, and a lifelong relationship with the arts. With your support, we can continue making theater accessible, urgent, and alive for the next generation.

Let’s raise the curtain on opportunity.
Come ready to play and give to help us keep student matinees on the calendar next season!
