FALL OF FREEDOM is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.
This Fall, we are activating a nationwide wave of creative resistance. Beginning November 21–22, 2025, galleries, museums, libraries, comedy clubs, theaters, and concert halls across the country will host exhibitions, performances, and public events that channel the urgency of this moment. Fall of Freedom is an open invitation to artists, creators, and communities to take part — and to celebrate the experiences, cultures, and identities that shape the fabric of our nation.
Art matters. Artists are a threat to American fascism.
LFL launches its landmark 25th season with a renewed commitment to lifting up unheard stories, deepening community connections, and creating transformative theatre experiences. Federal anti-DEI directives have negatively impacted LFL’s funding, and yet we are forging ahead with big plans for our landmark 25th season—and we’re calling on our audiences and supporters to stand with us by helping raise $25,000 in celebration of 25 years of bold, inclusive storytelling.
LFL’s $25,000 for 25 Years campaign isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a call to action for the community to help secure the next quarter-century of bold, unheard storytelling. This goal is as much about community as it is about dollars. We want to see our audiences, neighbors, and friends rally together - because in times like these, the arts need individual champions more than ever.
