Since announcing our programming pause, many of you have reached out with questions, concern, and offers of support. We are grateful, and we want to update you directly.
We know there are questions circulating about our building. We are currently engaged in conversations with funders, partners, and advisors regarding the future of our physical space. These conversations are ongoing, and no decisions have been made. What guides every consideration is the same question that has always guided our work: what gives the Jungle the best foundation to continue making theater that matters?
We also want to acknowledge what we know many of you are feeling. The Jungle has been a longstanding home for artists, audiences, and this neighborhood. Uncertainty about its future is unsettling. We don’t take lightly what this pause means for the people who have given so much to this organization.
We believe the Jungle’s work has never resided in our productions or the building alone. It lives in the relationships, standards, and community we have built together with you over decades. That does not pause.
To those who have asked how you can help, the most meaningful thing right now is to stay connected and to make a contribution if you are able. Although our programming is paused, we are still operating our building and actively planning for the future. Donations during this period help us maintain the capacity to plan carefully and move forward when the time is right.
We will continue to communicate directly as plans develop.
Christina and Rachel
