“With your impact, EST’s artists can share their work generously with you”

Charly Evon Simpson (Behind the Sheet)
EST/Sloan Project Commission, EST/Youngblood Alum

From our artists to you: thank you. EST is a place that points artists toward collaborations, careers, and friendships that shape their artistic lives -- and brings audiences performances and voices they wouldn't find anywhere else. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, it's a place of discovery for everyone.

Your gift is especially meaningful right now as EST celebrates historic milestones: welcoming new leadership; the EST/Sloan Project's 25th anniversary; our Youngblood program's 30th anniversary; and the mighty Ensemble Studio Theatre itself turns 55 years old, standing tall and proud!

To celebrate everyone who started here, and to support everyone who’s just getting started, please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Origins Fund. You'll help us welcome that next origin story that comes down 52nd Street and support what's next in American theatre.

Donating online is the easiest and fastest way for you to support EST while our offices are closed. If you prefer to donate by mail, please use our secure post office box:

Good To Know: If you or someone you know is over the age of 70 ½ and has an individual retirement account (IRA), you can take advantage of the significant tax benefits associated with making a rollover gift to a non-profit like EST.
