THEATRE FOR THE PEOPLE: The Fountain Theatre introduces the Living Ticket Model
We know that NOW is not the moment where our community can spare money on a theatre ticket. We know that you are using every spare dollar to support the causes that need us right now.
And we also know that, now more than ever, we need each other. We need to connect, to instigate, to activate, to heal, to imagine, to hope. Together.
In the spirit of radical inclusion and June Jordan’s belief that art is not a luxury but essential, the Fountain Theatre will shift to a living ticket model.
We tell you what the production costs, you tell us what you can afford by naming your own ticket price. That’s it.
We welcome every single one of you who wants to immerse yourself in the words + world of June Jordan, who wants to gather in space to architect a more just future, who wants to do something about the rage or despair troubling your soul . . . we are here and we made this show for you.
We also welcome you and other co-conspirators to use this space for further activation, connection to resources, and community gathering. Let’s go.
THE MATH:
$94,094.40 - the cost of producing Poetry For The People: The June Jordan Experience
$2851.35 - cost per performance
$50.02 - how much we’d need to charge for a ticket in order to break even . . . assuming at least 75% occupancy for every performance
In the spirit of community trust, we invite you to name your price with the belief that those who can do more, will do more so that all may benefit and thrive.
