DONATION CAMPAIGNS
Metra Living Ticket Donations
Flux's Living Ticket initiative requires no financial transaction to see our shows. However, we welcome Living Ticket donations to help us work toward paying artists a living wage.
We’re proud to say that METRA represents the first Flux production where all our contributors are making an hourly minimum wage (or equivalent fee), with 63% of the production budget going directly toward paying PEOPLE. This was a longtime goal for Flux, and we’re grateful to every foundation and individual donor who made it possible.
With the added costs that producing during a pandemic create, we are deeply grateful for any living ticket donation you can make. One way several audience members have chosen to think about their gift is the equivalent value of two hours of their own time.

Our Options Have Changed
Since early in the pandemic, Flux Creative Partners Corey Allen, Emily Hartford and Will Lowry have taken the lead on this interactive, phone-based, labyrinthine experience, OUR OPTIONS HAVE CHANGED. Now, finally, in June 2022, we're ready to share it with YOU.
This production continues our Living Ticket initiative, which makes Flux’s shows free for all to attend. Well, not exactly free: it costs a lot to create these productions, and we continue to build toward a living wage for our team. So while you don’t have to pay anything, we encourage you to support Flux with a donation. Check out our Open Book production budget to learn more about how your contribution can support this work.
In short:
$3 average donation covers our costs and helps ensure we can keep the project live
$6 helps us fully compensate the lead artists who have stewarded this project over the past 2 years
$9+ is an investment in future hybrid work from Flux!

Flux Theatre Ensemble
This past year has been one of abundance. From the immersive installation of Portal Project to the devised movement piece The Elephant Play to the practical creativity of The Go Bag Plays, Flux continued to expand our Aesthetic of Liberation. Amid the industry wide decline in new play development, programs like Core Work and our Annual Retreat supported 29 new works in 2025, bringing us over 500 projects developed in Flux’s history.
With your support, we can bring our exciting 2026 slate of projects to life, including:
- Fear & Wonder, by Jason Tseng, will receive a world premiere full production in June 2026. In this forbidden love story, Jabez and Ryan, two boys of color, navigate a Christian summer camp together in the early 2000s.
- Portal Project, an immersive installation and ritual performance that imagines a world where the pandemic never happened, returns in March 2026 to build on 2025’s successful workshop with a fully realized experience.
- Creative Emergence, an art crawl meets high school science fair meets block party, will host a full-day exhibition of creations and experiences generated by our theatre+ community.
- Workshops of new works by our Creative Partners, including Miranda Holliday, Montserrat Mendez, Kristen Palmer, and Adam Szymkowicz, will be announced soon.

Thank you for believing in the liberatory power of theatre and for helping Flux thrive as we head toward our 20th anniversary season.
