A special thanks to Samantha Newcomb and Sam Luis Massaro who so generously shared their time with us.

Transformative events like this could not be possible without the generous support of our donors, to whom we’re incredibly grateful.

Please reach out if you’re interested in helping Seeding Equity do more of this meaningful work, or donate today. No amount is too small. https://www.mightycause.com/story/Seedingequity

Seeding Equity is looking to partner with one or more community groups or schools to provide underrepresented students with an opportunity to see a matinee performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at American Players Theatre, in Spring Green, on Sat. August 30, 2025. We’ll also have the opportunity to stay afterwards and watch the tech crew change over the scenery before that evening’s performance of “Picnic.”

Seeding Equity will cover the cost of the 30 tickets we currently have reserved.

Please re-post and pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. Thank you!
