Things Went Horribly Wrong by Sarita Covington
Directed by Jessi D. Hill
Public Reading of a New Play
Presented by Company Cypher
What does Winnie Mandela and a 14 year old girl from the Lower East Side of NYC have in common? Perhaps everything. Intersections and surprising interdependent relationships reveal themselves in a suspenseful new play that spans time and place to explore what happens during revolutions. Particularly when they go astray.

The Capital Campaign
In 2000, WOW
launched its first large-scale fundraising effort, a capital campaign
to help us buy and renovate our theater. The City of New York has sold the tenants of 59-61 East 4th Street the
building for $1!
The caveat: That we raise the funds to
renovate the building, and bring it up to code. WOW’s share of renovation costs is about $125,000. As
we have survived solely on box-office sales for 25 years, this is more
money than we’ve ever had or needed in the past. |
When we do
succeed in securing these funds, WOW will own its own permanent theater
space in a completely renovated building.
One of the most
exciting aspects, which we have achieved, is the addition of a functional 24/7
self-service elevator! Yet to come is a sink for the bathroom, and dare we say air-conditioning?!
|
|
We have raised more than 3/4 of the total, but are not there yet! In order to make this possible, we urgently need your financial help! No
donation is too small or too large, and any amount will help us ensure
that theatre by women and/or by transgender people continues to thrive and be ever-increasingly accessible. |
