About This Project
Summary
Level Forward, Colt Coeur, & Funroe Productions produced a one-night-only benefit reading of Ruby Rae Spiegel's play, Dry Land, a biting and honest portrayal of two high school girls, one of whom needs an abortion. The event benefited the New York Abortion Access Fund (NYAAF), and its executive director, Chelsea Williams Diggs, addressed the audience. The reading was directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt and featured Maya Hawke, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Dominic Sessa, Alice Kremelberg, Eden Marryshow.
Goals & Objectives
The event spotlighted how reproductive justice issues affect younger people, particularly high school girls, while also creating a platform for NYAAF to increase their exposure in the media, network and grow their mailing list, catalyze fundraising from new sources, and explain the work they do.
Results & Impact
The sold-out performance of 245 attendees raised $18k+ for NYAAF, and made a significant contribution to its signature grassroots fundraising campaign that raised a total of $150k. The event introduced NYAAF to new donors and subscribers and provided media visibility in the entertainment trades.
