Description
Zee Zee’s role in the theatre community is to bridge the gap between queer and mainstream theatre and to cross-pollinate with non-theatre communities by engaging them in non-theatre settings. This becomes a platform to discuss the kind of work we do and usher in a new generation of theatre patron.
In our second decade, we are in need of supportive, passionate arts advocates who believe in and value the work we do at Zee Zee and can thereby offer advice as well as assistance with publicity, outreach for new audience members and finally fundraising outreach to new donor/ sponsorship opportunities. Given Zee Zee’s stage of development, with a small, part time paid staff, we are a working board with members contributing actively with their skills and time. The ideal board member would have the time and be willing to be a part of building the society both at the logistical as well as ideological levels.
Though Zee Zee has achieved some limited but stable government funding, we need to rely on the support of our community to keep us growing and developing both artistically as well as structurally.
