Molière in the Park's OneLove OneTheater Gala 2025

Tickets start at $125 and include:

• Food and drinks courtesy of Night Kitchen BK
• Fabulous dance, music, and theater performances performed by MIP alumna artists, including hilarious Molière excerpts but also, Broadway hit songs, and sneak peaks at new material developed by friends of MIP
• A silent auction including destination getaways in the Alps and more
• And a post show DJ, because is it even a party without an opportunity to hit the dance floor?

Q&A for those of you who are new to MIP:

• Wait, what is Molière in the Park?

It’s like Shakespeare in the Park’s cool French cousin who lives in Brooklyn. We present a contemporary production of a Molière play every year for three weeks in Prospect Park and additional readings and events throughout the year. Always free. Always world class theater.

• Why Molière?

At MIP we believe that Molière’s plays, when produced through an inclusive and contemporary lens, explore the human condition in a way that promotes generosity of spirit, fosters unity over division, and spreads joy. Something we all need nowadays.

• Why Free?

We believe that arts experiences spark ideas and conversations, keep history alive, challenge prejudice, and increase civic participation, but not all communities have equal access to these experiences. MIP seeks to address these inequalities by providing ALL Brooklynites with the benefits of high-quality theater at no cost. Thus far in 2025, 7456 individuals have reserved a ticket to one of our shows, with 61% of our Brooklyn audience coming from low-income zip codes and 45% from historically under represented communities where the majority of residents are people of color.

• Ok, amazing. How can I support MIP?

About the Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award:

We created the "MIP Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award" to honor individuals whose work reflects a core belief of Molière in the Park: that it is vital to build and sustain spaces where people of all cultural and racial backgrounds can come together—sitting shoulder to shoulder—to create and/or experience art. Through this award we seek to honor those who contribute to a sense of common humanity and unity despite everything that seemingly makes us different.

All proceeds from the Gala go towards funding our operating costs and paying our artists equitable wages.
