HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS

Independently produced theatre is challenging to fund upfront and even more difficult to consistently fund. There are several ways your funds will be used to maintain the short-term and long-term success of the company:

Ensuring all artists are compensated fairly. We have a team of 8 volunteers who comprise of the core ELevated Team, on top of contracted artists for each production. Artists are paid a fraction of what they deserve across the industry; any work we can do to bridge the wage gap—especially among independent productions—is work we are honored to do for the well-being of our own artists and the future of artists working for other companies.
Covering rental fees for rehearsal studios and performance spaces. All rehearsal studios and performance spaces require an upfront deposit to secure. Ensuring we have the money to hold rehearsals for an adequate length of time and rent out performance spaces to accommodate the scale of our productions enhances the experience for both our artists and patrons alike.
Funding our Affordable Ticket Program. As our mission states, we pride ourselves on giving voice to the unheard. This includes supporting our audience members who may not have the opportunity to see our productions because ticket prices prove to be a barrier for them. Our Affordable Ticket Program allows these patrons to secure tickets at a discounted rate.

For every $2 donated, you will receive one (1) entry towards each of the following prizes, as pictured above: An ELevated Productions NYC Merchandise Pack including a logo tote bag and t-shirt (valued at $40.90), or an ELevated Productions NYC Season Subscription with one (1) complimentary ticket to every production in 2026, good for both in-person and livestream tickets.

UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS

Once Upon A Cabaret
The Reverie Room
Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 9:30pm

Co-Produced by Elle Lev.

Once Upon A Cabaret is a warm and nostalgic show filled with classic, Disney-style songs that many people grew up loving. Talented singers take the audience on a gentle trip back to childhood, performing the songs that once made us dream, smile, and believe in magic. Sweet, simple, and full of wonder, Once Upon A Cabaret celebrates the joy of the music we never really outgrow.

BFA or Bust
The Reverie Room
Sunday, January 18, 2026 at 7:00pm

Help us dismantle the belief that a BFA degree is the only path to success in the musical theatre industry as we highlight the voices of performers without any BFA education! Actors from across the country reprise past roles for one night only to prove that there is no universal route to "making it." Whatever that means.

Matters of the Heart: A Benefit Cabaret for American Heart Month
The Green Room 42
Friday, February 6, 2026 at 9:30pm

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association. Co-Produced by Isabella Concetta Borte.

Join us for an evening of uplifting performances by a combination of brand-new faces and TGR42 veterans as we come together to support the over 80 million Americans affected by heart disease each year. Matters of the Heart: A Benefit for American Heart Month features a dynamic set composed of your favorite genres from timeless showtunes to today's top 40 hits and everything in between, sung in celebration of the critical funding and research the American Heart Association provides to heart attack and stroke victims, as we honor those in our lives who these preventable diseases have impacted.
