JOIN ANY TIME
Our Special Thanks!
The Brecht Forum owes its existence to a broad network of support. Our modest fees cover only a fraction of our costs and we rely on the progressive community for our financial survival.
Hundreds of valued subscribers and donors provide steady contributions to all of our activities.
Our programs are made possible in part by Manhattan Neighborhood Network, The New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency.
