Help Paulina Ignite the Power of ISF!

I'm fundraising for Island Shakespeare Festival, a company near and dear to my heart, where I will make some of my best art, best memories, and best friends--a place I hope to consider an artistic home.

ISF fosters and empowers awesome art. I'm excited about working here because they're Pay What You Will--they don't charge ticket admission, so anyone and everyone has access to the really incredible theatre my friends and I work so hard to make. 

I also love that ISF is committed to making space in the classical canon for folks who've historically been excluded from it, onstage, offstage, and in the audience. At ISF, artists and audiences get to share in an experience of belonging. “ISF has the power to make amends - ISF has the power to create peace - ISF has the power to liberate - ISF is a place where you see yourself - and know that you, yourself, are enough - you, yourself, are great.” - Ada Karamanyan (she/her)

This summer at ISF, we're bringing to life two very different but very exciting plays. Shakespeare's King Lear, and Aphra Behn's 1686 feminist play The Lucky Chance, one of Hedgepig Ensemble Theatre's Expand the Canon plays. 

Please, join me in supporting this company this summer. Your choice to make a gift now will help launch an exciting season of accessible theatre for all. Let’s create a space together where everyone belongs!
