7 Gifts for 7 Rooms of Prospero's Plague Palace

You are cordially invited to Prospero’s masquerade

Enter one of our seven decadent rooms, filled with everything for our masked revellers to weather out the end of the world in style. A lavish party needs supplies, entertainers, food, drink, and other merriment to delight our many guests and distract them from the horrors outside the gates...

And that’s where you come in!

7 Rooms: The Masque of the Red Death is a new, radically collaborative virtual theatre experience coming live to Zoom from July 28th – August 15th 2021. Flat Earth Theatre has united seven Boston-based playwrights with directors to construct seven new short plays to fill the rooms of the manor from Edgar Allan Poe’s deliciously macabre short story. Each room tells a distinct story that, when assembled together, creates an evening of theatre that explores humanity in the time of plague.

What room will you support?

Click the donate button to choose to support a specific room or give to them all equally! From the melodious notes from the stage of the Blue Room, to the hardworking servants toiling in the Purple Room, to the extraterrestrial threat behind the door of the Green Room, to the cozy warmth by the fire of the Orange Room, to the evening row on the lake of the Violet Room, to the vulnerable privacy of the White Room, to the ticking of the horrible clock in the Black & Red Room: all our rooms can use your help.

Your donations fund stipends for the playwrights, directors, actors, designers, and staff that populate Prospero’s manor, as well as budgets for costumes, props, and all the pomp and circumstance of a party at the end of the world. Each room is coming in at about $500, and all seven of them need some love in these trying times.

How else can you join the party?

Other than helping us supplement our party supplies, the best way to help our masquerade is to come see the festivities, especially if you bring your friends!

7 Rooms: The Masque of the Red Death runs July 28th – August 15th, 2021.

Reservations are available here, and we'd love for you to come and visit the room you helped to build when the party has started! Despite Prospero's agenda of exclusivity, we want everyone to be able to join this celebration, so tickets will be pay-what-you-can, with no minimum fee.

You can also earn a special place in our hearts by spreading the word about this campaign and the show! Local theatre gets the most promotion via word of mouth, and we are ever appreciative of every time someone tells a friend about our work. 

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and join our mailing list to keep up to date on how hopping our masquerade is, what's in the future for Flat Earth, and other ways you can get involved!
