Reflecting on 2024 as we continue our goals to create a more inclusive #Broadway. This year, we completed our first Regulation CF funding round and co-produced our first Broadway production of GYPSY with a community of diverse & inspired investors. We’re just getting started, and with your support, we can keep growing and empowering a new generation of producers.

On the red carpet with a few of our #TISG members at the GYPSY opening night! ?? Huge congratulations to the incredible team and a heartfelt thank you to our community for helping us reach this milestone—our Broadway co-producing debut! ?? #Broadway #Gypsy #Theatre

Wishing a joyous opening to GYPSY on Broadway! We are thrilled and honored to make our Broadway co-producing debut with this anticipated production. Since its original debut in 1959, GYPSY has stood as one of Broadway’s most iconic and celebrated musicals. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our #TISG members who helped us join this remarkable legacy, and special shout out to our co-founders Adam Hyndman and Cynthia J. Tong who helped make this possible. This revival not only pays tribute to the timeless classic but also breathes new life into it by championing representation. Here’s to a spectacular opening night!

Last week, our #TISG community came together for a festive pre-show toast at Sardi's before enjoying the timeless magic of GYPSY on Broadway—with the lead producer Mara Isaacs! It was an evening filled with holiday cheer, warm connections, and the joy of celebrating theater together. ????
