Louis Tyrrell Legacy of Theatrical Excellence Fund
A tireless champion for new plays and the artists who help create them, the list of titles and careers which Lou helped to launch into the world is nearly innumerable and, quite frankly, staggering in scope. In the countless testimonials following his untimely passing, a common thread emerged: Lou was both enthusiastic and steadfast in his commitment to helping aspiring artists of all kinds get their start in the industry and continuing to support them as they advanced their careers. The ripple effect of his impact on the national theatre scene will, no doubt, be felt for decades to come.
In honor of Lou’s profound impact, Theatre Lab has created the Louis Tyrrell Legacy Excellence Fund. We invite you to make a gift to honor Lou’s amazing contributions. Your contribution will help to create opportunities for the next generation of theatre artists.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Stoops Family Foundation Fund at the Community Foundation of Palm Beach & Martin counties, we have announced a matching challenge for the first $10,000 in contributions! Your gift, of any size, will be matched up to 100%
