With support from the California Arts Council, CRESCENT MOON THEATER PRODUCTIONS will strengthen its capacity to create community-centered documentary and immersive theater rooted in oral history, shared authorship, and social connection. CAC funds will support equitable artist compensation, accessibility services, community engagement, production costs, and organizational infrastructure across programs including What We Carry, a collaborative theater project bringing together veterans and refugees, and The Hidden Network, an arts-in-parks redwood storytelling initiative. This support will help CMTP deepen long-term relationships with underserved communities while expanding the reach, accessibility, and statewide impact of its work.
CMTP creates original new work that spans across the disciplines of theater, dance, music, and circus. CMTP also produces Blessed Unrest, an annual arts and social justice festival in San Francisco that unites over thirty artists working at the intersection of art and social change.
