New Repertory Theatre, in residence at the Arsenal Center for the Arts, is pleased to announce that it has surpassed its goal of raising $75,000 for two challenge grants. In total, New Rep raised over $83,000 in the month of September.

To kick off its fall fundraising efforts and to help ramp up for its 26th Season, Michael McCay (former Board Chair) and Dan Salera (Advisory Council Chair) put forth a challenge grant of $50,000. The Boston Foundation heard about this challenge and offered another $25,000. Both challenge grants were matched dollar-for-dollar.

“New Rep is so thankful to Michael and Dan, The Boston Foundation, its Board and Advisory Council, who raised $40,000 in the quiet phase of this campaign, and for all of its loyal, generous donors who rose to the challenge this month,” states Kate Warner, New Rep’s Artistic Director. “We are humbled by the support we received and how the community has shown how much they value the important role New Rep plays in bringing quality artistic, educational, and outreach programs to the citizens of Massachusetts.”

“My partner Dan and I immediately wanted to play a major role in the growth of New Rep after seeing the World Premiere production of Moby Dick, An American Opera,” said Michael McCay. “We are so pleased with the results of our challenge grant and that we were able to be instrumental in ensuring the continued financial security of New Rep with this fall fundraising campaign.”
