Urban Stages is an award-winning, not-for-profit, Off-Broadway Theatre Company founded in 1984 by current Artistic Director Frances Hill. We have developed into a bigger and more diverse organization since our beginnings. Urban Stages reach thousands of New Yorkers every year in over 100 neighborhoods while also offering theatrical and performance art experiences like no other at our theater in Manhattan (259 West 30th Street). Development and MainStage For over 30 years, Urban Stages have produced dozens of world, American and NYC premieres including Pulitzer Prize Finalist BULRUSHER (2007) by Eisa Davis. We have been honored with awards, nominations and recognition from the Drama Desk, Obie Awards, Audelco, Outer Circle critics and much more. For instance, our world premiere of the musical LANGSTON IN HARLEM by Walter Marks (music and book) and Kent Gash (book and direction) garnered a Drama Desk Nomination, a Joe A. Calloway award and 4 Audelco awards including Best Musical Production of 2010. More recently, our 2014 spring premiere of JIM BROCHU CHARACTER MAN was nominated for a Drama Desk and Outer Theater Critic’s award for Best Solo performance. Many of the plays we produce are found through open submissions via our Development Program and Literary Committee. Before production, plays are offered staged readings (open to the public) where they can see their works handled by professional actors and directors and hear audience feedback. Some plays are offered workshops catered specifically to each project. After production, most plays move on to larger venues such MEN ON THE VERGE OF A HISPANIC BREAKDOWN, by Guillermo Reyes, and MINOR DEMONS by Bruce Graham; both moved to commercial theatres. CHILI QUEEN, a play by newscaster Jim Lehrer, transferred to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. (1989). HONKY (2013) by Greg Kalleres saw a regional run at San Diego Rep. MY OCCASION OF SIN (2012) by Monica Bauers won critical acclaim when it moved to Detroit Rep. Bill Bowers has toured the United States and the world with his two Urban Stages premieres blending mime and theatre – BEYOND WORDS (2012) and UNDER A MONTANA MOON (2002)! Some Urban Stages premieres have even been developed into film and television projects such as SCAR by Murray Mednick, CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GODDESSES by Agapi Stassinopoulos, and COTTON MARY by Alexandra Viets. In addition to plays and musicals, annually we hold a music festival called WINTER RHYTHMS that features famous and up-and-coming Cabaret, musicians, lyricists and other music artists. In 2015, Winter Rhythms was celebrated by the Manhattan Association of Cabaret with a Ruth Kurtzman Benefit Series Award! Outreach For over 20 years, our OUTREACH PROGRAM has brought plays and workshops to all 5 boroughs of NYC in over 200 events a year. We have a repertoire of 20+ multi-cultural programs, ranging from plays that explore science, plays that spotlights historical figures and dance and mime workshops. Each show caters to specific age groups, from toddlers to families to Adult Learners. Many of the neighborhoods we reach (and return to multiple times) have little to no theatre and arts programming. Our programs travel mainly to libraries and non-profit organizations. They are all admission-free for patrons. For artists, our Outreach Program offers paid opportunities. We commission plays, pay royalties and fees allowing writers, directors, designers, actors and teaching artists to be working artists. Under the Outreach Umbrella are our art residencies. We are able to offer extended theater and art related residencies for weeks to months at a time to places like to senior citizens centers, community centers and schools. In the past, we offered programming to LGBTQ homeless centers, centers helping women reclaim their lives from incarceration and drug abuse and various non-profit agencies. Finally, annually we hold a Summer Theater Camp for children 10-14 years old. Professionals teach our campers about all aspects of theatre and the campers collaborate to put on a musical. We offer partial scholarships making our summer theater camp more accessible.

Initiated as an organizing effort by a coalition of LGBTSTGNC People of Color, The Audre Lorde Project was first brought together by Advocates for Gay Men of Color (a multi-racial network of gay men of color HIV policy advocates) in 1994. The vision for ALP grew out of the expressed need for innovative and unified community strategies to address the multiple issues impacting LGBTSTGNC People of Color communities. ALP secured and moved into its Fort Greene home, in the parish house of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, during the summer of 1996.

It began with a promise from a father to his dying son. In 1973, a high school student named T.J. Martell was battling leukemia. He asked his father, music industry executive Tony Martell, to raise a million dollars for cancer research so that “no one else will have to experience what I am going through.” Although he had no fundraising experience, Tony agreed. Two years later, T.J. died at the age of nineteen, and as Tony explains today, “that put my promise in cement.” Soon after, Tony was joined by many of his musician friends like Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington to hold a fundraiser at Buddy Rich’s nightclub in New York. They raised $50,000 and the T.J. Martell Foundation was born. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately to help provide more than $270 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. We are proud of our long history and our reputation for innovation in fundraising and the research we support.

1-844-HelpMeSee

Inspiration for the HelpMeSee campaign began in the late 1970s when Albert L. Ueltschi, the founder of Flight Safety International, dedicated himself to fighting blindness by cofounding and leading the organization, Orbis International. Orbis’s “Flying Eye Hospital,” an ophthalmic operating room on wings, could reach out to every corner of the globe to treat all types of avoidable blindness and to strengthen eye care practices in the developing world through training. While the Flying Eye Hospital program continued to do great work, Al realized it lacked the scalability needed to provide access to the millions waiting for cataract treatment. It wasn’t long into the new millennium when he began investigating the possible use of simulation technology to instruct cataract surgical specialists on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery, an effective and cost-efficient procedure for treating cataracts. Together in 2010, the Gates Foundation, the A. L. Ueltschi Foundation and the Jim Ueltschi Foundation collectively contributed to the start-up and successful launch of HelpMeSee. HelpMeSee’s campaign uses a three-part approach: 1. The Training of Highly Skilled Specialists HelpMeSee is in the latter stages of developing the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator as part of an integrated learning system designed to instruction tens of thousands of cataract specialists on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery. 2. Finding Patients in Need of Care Using an Android smartphone, community health workers find and record patient information as a photograph, voice recording and GPS location in the HelpMeSee Reach app. In this initial medical record a pre-surgery test is conducted by the partner and if required the patient is scheduled for treatment. After the procedure the community health worker is alerted through the app to conduct a 4-week follow-up vision test. A paper-based processed that used to take days is now handled electronically and in minutes. 3. Supporting High Quality Surgeries Delivering high-quality healthcare in the developing world presents a unique set of challenges. Many medicines may be counterfeit and infection rates are higher than in the developed world. In some areas accountability and standards may be week. To address these issues, HelpMeSee developed a pre-sterilized, single-use surgical kit and a cloud-based surgical reporting system. The HelpMeSee surgical kit is a complete set of the instruments, pharmaceuticals and disposables required to perform a Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery. The cloud-based surgical reporting system monitors the outcomes of all procedures. Our goal is to use these for a solution where after initial setup partners can continue this work on their own sustainably.
