PlayZoomers, Inc. is a live, online theatre company - with MA roots & connections - that began in April 2020. We produce performances on Zoom 7 times a year, featuring original plays of different genres, lengths, and cast sizes.

We welcome participants of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. We offer audiences an affordable way to connect with online theatre regardless of location, finances, weather, or mobility. Live Talkbacks enable audiences to connect with playwrights, directors, and actors. PlayZoomers values arts-based learning, too. We train directors and hold Table Reads for playwrights with new work. We partner with another nonprofit on a literacy program, "Act Me a Story," for under-resourced children of color. PlayZoomers is connected with several MA-based arts organizations.$14,826$11,413
PlayZoomers, Inc. has partnered with another nonprofit, Washtenaw Promise, Inc. (working with under-resourced preschool children in Greater Ypsilanti, MI) to support family literacy through a unique program called, "ACT ME A STORY." We create short, professionally produced videos of storybooks. The videos are available to preschoolers, teachers, & families in Ypsilanti, where over 30% live below the poverty line, and many young children have limited exposure to books in any format. The videos help ignite excitement about reading. The videos feature professional actors of color reading classic stories and culturally relevant books for under-resourced preschoolers, most of whom are children of color. We produced 9 videos in 2021 and are working on more videos in 2022 & beyond. We hope to grow the program & expand its geographic reach.$5,000$1,147
