WHY BEDLAM?

Committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience…

Bedlam creates works of theatre that reinvigorate traditional forms in a flexible, raw space, collapsing aesthetic distance and bringing its viewers into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life.

In this new, fresh, active environment storytelling becomes paramount and the result is a kinetic experience of shared empathy.

Your contribution helps to fund current and future productions, as well as further our FREE Veterans Outreach programming. Bedlam is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

For more information contact: Susannah Millonzi at development@bedlam.org

We’d like to thank all our donors for their support!

BEDLAM has also been a participant of Blue Star Theatres, a program of Blue Star Families and Theatre Communications Group, the national organization for the professional not-for-profit American Theatre, with leadership support from the MetLife Foundation.

Bedlam’s programs are also made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
