With the holiday season just around the corner, The Formerly Incarcerated People’s Performance Project is excited to close out 2023 by announcing a new partnership: we are now the first ever company-in-residence at Berkeley Repertory Theatre!
It’s no secret that things are tough in the world of theater right now, and FIPPP has already experienced this firsthand with the recent shuttering of our previous home at PianoFight Oakland. Partnering with Berkeley Rep allows us not only call a world-renowned theater our home, but also to expand on collaborative possibilities with Berkeley Rep like the SF Jails project, and to make even more visible the stories of those most impacted by the carceral system.
We would love your support as we we will launch our Residency Campaign.

- Make a donation to FIPPP! A gift of any amount supports our performers and work.

You can support FIPPP! Our recent festival and FIPPP Encore! performances at Berkeley Rep sparked generosity in some of our theater-goers who wanted to support the work of FIPPP into the future, including a charitable gift from the Ronald Whittier Family Foundation. Other major donors include the Armstrong-McKay Foundation, Mona Dale Lawrence, Victoria Podesta. We also recently received a grant from the Alameda County Arts Fund and a CA$H Sustains grant from Theater Bay Area! We would love to see others join our FIPPP community of supporters!
*$3,000 will support a FIPPP performer for an entire year!
A gift for FIPPP allows us to grow. We plan to bring our current performers back and to expand our programming to bring additional formerly incarcerated performers and family members to our stage sharing their compelling stories. We also want to continue to provide reduced cost, sliding scale show tickets, as well as donated seats to our shows so that no one will be turned away from a Formerly Incarcerated People's Performance Project show due to a lack of funds.
Here is how you can help: You can make a one-time or monthly donation to FIPPP to support our performers, directors, and our work. Your support allows us to secure a rehearsal space, pay our tech and crew and support our performers with a small stipend. All donations by individuals are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Again, we thank you for your support!
