Haven Academy of the Arts
“We ask our 5 year olds to bring their scripts to rehearsal. Why? Begin as you mean to go. Bringing your script to rehearsal and opening it to the right page is one of the building blocks they will need to be successful as they grow in our programs. Bonus: this is a precursor to reading! Just look at how cute these little professionals are!”

Kingdom Causes Bellflower
Kingdom Causes Bellflower received a grant to help support their transitional housing home, Margaret’s House. Margaret’s House is a three-unit transitional home that offers short-term (6-9 months) housing and services for low-income families with minor dependent children. Margaret’s House provides each family with case management and housing search assistance in a dignified, high-quality living experience. The mission of Kingdom Causes Bellflower is to be a catalyst that inspires, connects, and mobilizes people towards personal and community transformation. Kingdom Causes Bellflower helps people get off the street, provides support services to those at risk of homelessness, creates pathways to sustainable work through social enterprise, and offers ongoing training and education to the community.
Kingdom Causes Bellflower regularly interacts with individuals and families who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Outreach workers develop relationships with community members on the street, and often distribute hygiene kits. Those kits are almost exclusively assembled by volunteers, area schools, churches, and businesses. Also, every year, KCB partners with area churches and volunteers to put on a Christmas Store. While many organizations give away presents, this store allows low-income parents to buy presents at deeply discounted prices. This allows parents to maintain the dignity of purchasing presents for their children.

Fringe Benefits Theatre

Theatre for Social Justice Replaces Hate with Understanding
“Hateful behavior is a learned behavior. My son’s murderers learned from their environment. But loving behavior can also be taught. By working with communities to find creative and positive responses to intolerance and bigotry, Fringe Benefits helps replace hate with understanding.”
Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard
In their Hate Crime Statistics, 2018, the FBI reported 7,120 hate crime incidents involving 8,496 victims. These incidents were motivated by prejudice based on the victims’ race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and/or disability. Nearly 10% of these crimes took place in schools. And the hate and the violence continue.
Fringe Benefits Theatre is dedicated to early hate crime prevention.
We believe that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and love.
We believe that it is imperative for all of us—and especially marginalized individuals and communities—to come together, listen to each other’s concerns, stories and ideas, and work together to frame our own narratives.
We believe that theatre has the power to open hearts and minds and to be a galvanizing force in the movement for social justice.
Fringe Benefits’ Theatre for Social Justice programs build and strengthen communities and relationships between communities by bringing together diverse individuals and organizations, helping everyone discover common ground, and offering tools and inspiration to develop creative solutions to social justice issues.
Working together, we stand a better chance of being heard and heeded.
