Support
As we witness long-treasured venues close their doors, rising calls for disinvestment in Black, brown, and queer folks, and new national leadership calling into question values we hold dear, the Flea will not waver in our support and investment in Black, brown, and queer artists.
We can meet this edge with a sense of artistic joy, excitement, and possibility. We – our incredible staff, world-class artists, and dedicated audience – stand unapologetically as a beacon for experimental art with the most productions, programming, and events since our refounding.
Join us! Bring us to the edge of excitement and possibility.
We also accept Venmo! @thefleatheater
