LAVA received a Bessie Award and an OBIE Award for Lava Love in 2000.


As a not-for-profit organization, LAVA's programs depend on the support of our audiences, students, parents, neighbors, fellow artists, and radicals. We encourage individual and in-kind donations, and also offer affordable opportunities for you or your company to sponsor one of our programs for at-risk and underserved communities. Whatever the level, you’ll know that your support is making scholarships, new work, and free programs possible.

You can donate to LAVA using a secure online form at JustGive.org.
