Our Capital Campaign
Phase One: The Theatre
The OSC has met with NYC officials and major real estate developers to consider building our center on a Lower Manhattan pier. Now we have begun a $5 million campaign, which will fund the creation of our 499-seat theatre structure.
Phase Two will include the building of the school, museum, gift shoppe, Elizabethan Tavern/restaurant and research center.
Why we deserve your donation:
- The world’s most celebrated Shakespearean actors have all said it: if you build it, we will come!
- We will provide cultural and educational benefits to the citizens and visitors of New York, offering affordable classical theatre to audiences, a free museum to visitors and an affordable drama school to nurture young actors.
- We will help rejuvenate Lower Manhattan by providing a destination for tourists and jobs for New Yorkers.
- The new Shakespeare Globe Theatre is London’s Number One tourist attraction after Buckingham Palace, is financially self-sufficient with 750,000 patrons a year, and has rejuvenated an entire section of London.
- Our after-school and Arts-in-Education programs will benefit local students and nurture a whole new generation in the liberal arts.
- Your contribution is tax-deductible...
