Board members include actor Gavin Creel, costumer William Ivey Long, actress Audra McDonald, producer Greg Nobile, theatre owner Jordan Roth and composer Jeanine Tesori.
The new honorary board members will host a Kickstarter Launch Party for Honest Accomplice 7-10 PM March 5 at the Antler Beer & Wine Dispensary (123 Allen Street) in New York's Bowery neighborhood. There is a $10 suggested donation for the event, which features drink specials, raffles and prizes; visit www.honestaccomplice.org for reservations.
Honest Accomplice’s Kickstarter campaign will help fund its 2015-16 season, which includes a college tour of The Birds and the Bees: Unabridged. The second season will also include events for Queer Women and Trans People in the Performing Arts, a group hoping to "increase the diversity of representations of queer women and trans people on stage."
Honest Accomplice Theatre is a non-profit with a mission to "generate dialogue and stimulate change by focusing on topics that are often silenced, seen as shameful, or portrayed as one-dimensional."
