Build The Shed 2026 Launch Event

Chickenshed NYC launches this year’s Build The Shed 2026 campaign with a special one-night cabaret celebration featuring Artistic Director Cyndi Steele-Harrod’s performing debut, joined by Chickenshed Players and Broadway guest artists.Over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, guests experience live performance and a spirited paddle raise in support of our inclusive theatrical community.

Why Your Support Matters

Program fees alone do not cover the true cost of delivering high-quality, inclusive theatre. Philanthropic support allows us to:

• Remove physical, social, and cultural barriers to participation
• Ensure diverse voices and stories are represented onstage
• Use theatre as a tool for empathy, connection, and social understanding
• Support children and teens to grow in confidence, creativity, and teamwork

Your gift directly impacts the children, families, and audiences who experience Chickenshed NYC each year.

The Impact of Your Giving

With your support, we can continue to:

• Empower children and teens to express themselves and be seen.
• Build inclusive communities that bring people together across difference.
• Inspire empathy, kindness, and confidence, on and off stage

By investing in Chickenshed NYC, you are helping create a more inclusive, vibrant, and equitable arts community, one where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice on the stage.
