For centuries, storytellers thrived under patronage models, supported by visionaries who understood that art was not just a commodity, but a necessity. This kind of fiscal support built the great artistic movements of history, and is the reason we remember names like Guggenheim and de’ Medici. 

The great patrons of the past knew then what we know now: stories shape the way we understand the world — and they shape the way we build the future. With the support of visionary individuals, not only will New American Ensemble be able to stage performances that result in a lasting impact on audiences; we will usher in a new Golden Age of theater in The United States, together.

We are deeply grateful for our community of patrons. So many individuals support our work here at NAE with their resources, be that money, time, energy, or expertise. On this page we are highlighting those who have contributed to our work financially. Thank you!
