Donations
Welcome, nerds! We're less than halfway into 2021, but it sure has been busy! Since last we spoke the US elected a new President, one of George Floyd's killers has been found guilty, and the Chicago Nerd Comedy Festival has become its own entity. With all that (and more) in mind, we're accepting donations that will be split between Stepping Stone Theater and helping cover the cost of the festival. If you would like to donate, you can do so by sending funds via Venmo to @CNCF2021. (Please include a note that it's for CNCF.)
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
Stepping Stone Theater is a non-profit theater program created to celebrate and amplify the creative voices of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, persons of disabilities, women, and non-POC allies of all ages. We provide affordable and accessible theater programs with a focus on community.
OUR CORE VALUES:
Artistic Excellence, Community, Diversity, Integrity, and Respect
OUR CAMPAIGN:
We want to make our dream a reality! For years, the accessibility for education and opportunities of improvisation and sketch comedy have been limited. While culture has evolved, this artform and its available programs have a long way to go. By bringing more color to comedy and comedy to communities missing out on this impactful artform, we will have a positive impact on the comedy community as a whole.
Our Mission & Core Values ensure accountability and provide full transparency. It’s important that we do our part to introduce and educate the next and more inclusive generation of comedic talent.
