Fountain For Youth
Our Fountain For Youth programs empowers young people to find their voice, tell their stories, and engage with the world around them through the transformative power of theatre.
The Fountain For Youth Fund ensures that young people across Los Angeles have access to transformative theatre experiences that ignite creativity, amplify their voices, and inspire civic engagement.
Your gift supports our three signature youth programs:
Fountain Voices – empowering teens to create original, socially engaged theatre
Fountain Playwrights – bringing playwriting residencies into high school classrooms
Fountain Reads – introducing TK and kindergarten students to the joy of reading through live theatre
Together, these programs are offered at little or no cost to schools and families, ensuring every young person has the opportunity to imagine, create, and belong.
Living Ticket Fund
The Fountain Theatre is committed to making theatre accessible to all.
The Living Ticket Fund ensures equitable access by allowing all patrons to name their own price while also centering the need to pay artists living wages for their work.
For Poetry For The People: The June Jordan Experience, over $17,000 was raised through the Living Ticket Fund allowing us to meet our budget. We hope you'll continue to contribute to this fund making Name Your Price tickets a permanent fixture on the Fountain mainstage!
The Simon Levy Social Justice Directing Award
Honor a Legacy. Support What Comes Next.

Every contribution helps:
Support emerging and established directors
Sustain bold, socially engaged productions
Carry forward a legacy of meaningful theatre
Your gift helps ensure that this spirit continues—on our stage and beyond.
