Since our launch last July, Breaking the Binary Theatre has paid out over $100,000 to over 125 transgender, non-binary, and Two-Spirit+ (TNB2S+) artists, but our work has just begun…
and now, we need YOUR help.
Introducing the
BTB RECLAMATION RAFFLE.
This June, we are setting out to raise $25,000 to further our work reclaiming the TNB2S+ community’s artistic license and liberty in the theatre industry.
By making a gift to Breaking the Binary Theatre of $25 or more today through June 30, you will be entered into a raffle to win one of our 25 prizes, including tickets to some of Broadway and off-Broadway’s hottest shows.
Here’s How It Works:
Each donor making a gift of $25 or over will be entered into the BTB RECLAMATION RAFFLE.
Gifts within the $25-49 range will receive one raffle entry.
Gifts within the $50-99 range will receive three raffle entries.
Gifts within the $100-249 range will receive six raffle entries.
Gifts over $250 will receive fifteen raffle entries.
On July 1, all of the raffle entries will be put in a list randomizer and winners of each raffle prize will be selected (and yes, if you have more than one entry and your name is pulled more than once, you will win each of those prizes!).
When donating, all donors will have the option to:
Enter the raffle themselves.
Enter the raffle on behalf of someone else.
Opt out of the raffle entirely (in the event their name is chosen, the gift will then be raffled off internally amongst the BTB alumni artist community).
Raffle Prizes Include:
Pairs of tickets to:

This $25,000 would ensure we are able to continue fleshing out our new work development and community building initiatives, all the while paying all TNB2S+ artists New York’s Living Wage.
As of June 2023, over 80% of Breaking the Binary Theatre’s operating budget reflects funds being paid out directly to our TNB2S+ artists.
