Quaran-teams brings you couples/roommates/families from the Arizona and national theatre community who are quarantining together, presenting original and known scenes/songs/poetry. And if you join us live, we will have an interactive game in the chat so you can play along to win a Bridge Initiative T-shirt & goodie bag!

We partnered with ACESDV for this project because, as we celebrate creatives quarantining together, we recognize more “together time” is actually dangerous for some. Those suffering from domestic violence are often more vulnerable in times of crisis and need our support now more than ever. Half of the money donated for this event will go to helping this population, and the other half will go toward Bridge’s future programming.
