The news has been hard this month. How are you holding up? Like many, we are overwhelmed and heartbroken. Please reach out if there is anything that IndieSpace can do better support our indie theater community.

If you or any indie theater makers you work with need support for mental health costs, please remember that each month we will be awarding $500 micro grants for 20 to 40 indie theater makers. Our next lottery will take place on Tuesday, May 31. …theatrefundindiespace.submittable.com/submit
