Six Figures--Home

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

For over twenty years, Six Figures has been a vital part of the New York theatre community. In 2009, we decided to take a step back from the front-lines. Producing a season of developing work in a fiscally responsible way has always required creativity and nerve. The challenge had always energized us - it's exciting to discover what you and your cohorts are capable of in the face of ridiculous limitations. With the downturn in the economy, however, we found the edge we had always walked starting to crumble under our feet. We had to stop and ask ourselves if there wasn't a better way...

I am in awe of the theatre women in this city. I am especially proud of the women I?ve had the honor of working with through Six Figures. They have met the hardships of the last few years with ferocity and humor and grace ? and an astounding level of productivity. Ladies, if you are reading this, please, you must never doubt your super awesomness. Know that at least one woman stands humbled and in deep admiration, respect and gratitude for you, your work and your contribution to our collective well-being.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we've been exploring alternatives to traditional ways of developing and producing independent theatre including ideas for collaboration and cooperative support of artists. It's vital that we as a community figure out a better way to sustain ourselves, our work and each other. I'd like for Six Figures to provide a testing ground for some of those new ideas. Email us at info@sixfigures.com and let us know if you'd like to join the conversation.

Rock on and on ~ Kim
