When you give to CCS, you pay an artist.
Not a building. Not a brand. A real, working New Orleans artist — an actor, a designer, a director — who wakes up and makes this city more alive.
New Orleans runs on culture. Its food, music, spirit. None of it exists without the artists who make it happen. Theatre is no different. Crescent City Stage is here to make sure the people who create that culture can actually afford to live inside it.
New Orleans runs on culture. Food, Music, Spirit. But none of it exists without the people who create it. Crescent City Stage is here to make sure those artists can actually afford to live inside the city they love. We produce professional theatre of the highest caliber, producing stories that reflect the full, gorgeous, complicated truth of this city and its people, and paying everyone who makes them happen what they're worth.
"When an artist is fairly compensated, they don't just survive, they create without compromise. That's the theatre New Orleans deserves."
That investment moves. It cycles back through the local economy, into the restaurants, the boutiques, the haunts of a city these artists call home. Supporting CCS means supporting New Orleans.
