A big part of our mission as a company is to support artists in their professional journeys, even in small ways. We are a professional company, hiring artists to do work, and their work is valued. We believe that paying artists for their work is an essential part of the process. And we need your help to do that!
Please consider making a donation to the Masquerade Theatre in order to help us produce these four special plays. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help us to support the artists involved in this production: playwrights, directors, actors, designers, stage managers, production team, etc. We are also counting on your generosity to help us afford our venue and to help us build our set. Every dollar counts, and no donation is too small!!!
A donation of $10 will help us feed our artists during our long tech rehearsal!
A donation of $25 will help us provide reliable and sustainable props for our actors to work with.
A donation of $50 will go straight towards paying an artist's stipend.
A donation of $100 will help us with all of the above and will grant you the title of Major Donor, and you will be listed in our playbill as a Major Donor for the rest of our upcoming 2025 Season!
Thank you so much for your support! We look forward to seeing you in our audience soon!

The Masquerade Theatre
Founded by Lizzy Booth in 2022.
Lizzy’s love for Shakespeare lit a major fire behind her love for acting and the stage from the time she was eight years old, when she first had the opportunity to act in a production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ever since then, Lizzy has performed in a multitude of Shakespeare’s plays and has directed and assistant directed several live productions. In 2022, Lizzy was inspired by the Virtual Theatre scene that arose during the pandemic to start a theatre group called The Masquerade Theatre, which would offer Virtual Productions via Zoom. That summer, Lizzy directed and produced The Masquerade Theatre’s first show: a “Masq’d Staged Reading.” The first Masq’d Staged Reading was Much Ado About Nothing: A Virtual Performance, followed the next summer by Twelfth Night: A Virtual Performance! This past August, the Masquerade Theatre put up its first full production in NYC at the Court Square Theater!
