About

ISSUE…made possible by YOU.

Each year, ISSUE supports hundreds of artists in the creation of new and groundbreaking work. Grants and ticket sales account for less than half of the support necessary for these vital artists. For the rest, we turn to good folks like you. Please make a donation today. Your support will be felt by thousands, including you!

What’s New(s)

Ann Liv Young's Cinderella, coming to ISSUE on September 3 & 4, is inspired by versions as disparate as Disney's and the macabre Grimm brothers'. This one-woman show (starring Young's alter-ego Sherry) seeks to please no one, critiquing the male authorship of one-dimensional female fairy tale characters.

Check out Ann Liv Young's interview in Time Out New York for her thoughts on Cinderella, and this Revel in New York video of some of her past work. The Revel in New York video does contain nudity, language, and other uncensored footage of Young's past work.
