HELP US GROW
INTO THE NEXT 5 YEARS!
It's hard to believe, but the Obsidian Theatre Festival officially launched over four years ago in October of 2020. Back then OTF was just an idea; the expression of a shared dream and an answer to a collective question: "How do we use our art to erase bias and create equity?"

In just the last four years we have produced 28 individual productions (plays, musicals, cabarets), featured 33 writers and composers, and hired 200+ artists. And, with a focus on accessibility, our work has been streamed across the world with over 500,000 views.
And we need you to join us in this effort. We know your support is valuable, and here's how it makes a difference.
