Help PlayMakers Laboratory get back on track after returning from COVID-19

It is during these uncertain times that we reach for the arts. Please make a gift to PlayMakers Laboratory today, so that we can have a tomorrow. Do it for the artists who are getting you through this, for the emerging artist doing this work in your communities, and for the next generation of artists we nurture in classrooms across the city.

Thank you,
Brandon Cloyd
Executive Artistic Director

At PlayMakers Laboratory, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling to build community and elevate the voices of youth - and we rely on community support to make it all possible!

If you like what we do, consider making a tax-deductible gift to support PML’s programs. With your help, we will continue to partner with young people to work toward a future in which everyone’s stories are heard.

Thank you!

“[PlayMakers Laboratory] made me feel like a artist in writing and turning my writing into songs. They made me feel like a spectacular student not just a regular student.”
