Together, We Raised…

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve raised $233,385 through our year-long OTC25 campaign!

This milestone is a powerful reflection of what can happen when the community shows up with purpose. For the past 25 years, Obsidian Theatre has been shaped, strengthened, and sustained by the generosity of artists, audiences and donors who believe in the importance of Black storytelling.

This campaign will fuel daily operations at Obsidian and provide new play development and training opportunities for emerging Black artists. It also allows us to grow the Obsidian team, ensuring we can continue showing up for our community with greater ambition.

Whether you shared our message, made a donation, or attended a performance, you were a vital part of this journey. Every action, big or small, helped carry this campaign forward, and we are deeply grateful.

A heartfelt thank you to our major gift donors. Your investment in Obsidian’s future will have a lasting impact on the artists we support, the stories we tell, and the audiences we serve.

Here’s to celebrating 25 years of Obsidian Theatre and to boldly building the next 25 together.
