Theater that opens conversations…
Flying Leap Productions empowers families to leap across boundaries together and towards each other, into a more liberated world where kids own their agency to ask challenging questions and take action, and where adults have the tools to navigate tough topics alongside them.
…and meets families where they are.
Our radically accessible work takes place outside traditional theaters, so families can enjoy quality live performance in their own neighborhood no matter where they live or how much money they make. We make theater that actively includes families with disabilities, neurodivergence, immigrant families, multilingual families, and more.

About your contribution:
Your donation is tax-deductible. Flying Leap Productions (Flying Leap LLC) is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. As our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas processes donations on our behalf and will send you a tax donation receipt. You can contribute online here or to donate via a check, email jess@flying-leap.com.
The majority of donated funds go directly to programming. We work with community partners and social service organizations to bring our programs directly to underserved communities outside the traditional theater ecosystem, at low or no cost to families. Your donation helps us keep tickets affordable.
We pay artists living wages. We don’t buy into the “starving artist” narrative. We currently meet W.A.G.E. standards (wageforwork.com) and pay all artists the living wage for their area (livingwage.mit.edu). Your donation will help us keep our highly skilled artists employed.
The fine print: Flying Leap Productions (Flying Leap LLC) is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Flying Leap Productions must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
