Purpose Of Funds
To help fund the presentation of the world premiere of Bass for Picasso by Kate Moira Ryan on Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd St.) April 17-May 23, 2010. We will do 32 performances using an integrated cast of able-bodied and disabled actors. Theater Breaking Through Barriers, formerly Theater By The Blind, has been working for 29 years to develop blind and low vision talent for the theater, television and film. With great pride, the company has just changed its name to reflect its commitment to include all artists with disabilities in its work, onstage, backstage, in the office and in the audience. Our audiences come from all over NYC and the tri-state area, our office is in Chelsea. Last year we served 1,437 people at Romeo and Juliet; this year we expect to hit 1,600 at our spring show. Our expenses for Romeo and Juliet were $210,303.
