It is incredibly important to lean on WHO YOU ARE and WHERE YOU COME FROM to craft the stories that will take us to a future where everyone matters. At South End Stories, the creative process is a revolutionary practice that gives youth the opportunity to learn valuable skills all while connecting youth to memory, place, justice, and community.

We are excited to share our annual report with you. Please check out the link on the last slide. šŸ”„

Introducing our new monthly donor program, Creative Futures. šŸŖ

The Creative Futures Circle is South End Storiesā€™ monthly donor community for people who believe youth are not just adapting to the future, they are imagining and creating it.

Your recurring gift sustains storytelling, arts integration, education, and youth-led creative spaces where Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian youth lead storytelling rooted in cultural identity, resistance, and joy.

By joining the Creative Futures Circle, you become part of a community shaping what comes nextā€”one story, one young artist, and one act of collective care at a time.

A donation tonight helps make space for more young people to share their stories through theater, film, and visual art.

Students in our 2025 Summer Teen Theatre Intensive had the opportunity to see Porscha Shaw in the 5th Ave production of After Midnight. She then joined us for a short Q&A, where she reflected on her journey as an actor, helped us understand musicals versus straight plays, and shared actionable tips for moving through the industry.

Our Summer Teen Theatre Intensive is designed to help youth build performance skills and get college-ready by learning directly from industry professionals.

Catch Porscha at the 5th Aveā€™s Elf- the Musical with showtimes between November 28 through December 28! - first slide reposted
