This page archives information about Snapped Productions and its productions.
November 2017 - Snapped Productions has closed its doors! Thank you to all of the wonderful collaborators, artists and donors who made Snapped Productions such a positive, progressive and creative force in NYC theater for 8 years.
History
Snapped Productions, LLC was a theatrical production company in New York City from 2009 - 2017. It was founded by actors Jon Dalin and Tina Ward Alvarez as a vehicle to promote the work of emerging actors and theater artists, helping them to gain the necessary experience to launch them into the world of professional entertainment. Snapped created work that supported the upward careers of collaborators, was culturally diverse and relevant, and realized personal and community expression.
Vision
Storytelling is a vital part of being human. Through its aspiration, we learn empathy, compassion and ethics. Through its inspiration, we share histories and build communities. Through its imagination, we enact change and move forward on the continuum of humanity. Snapped Productions' projects are affordable for all audiences without sacrificing production quality, professionalism, reverence to the writers, responsibility to the story, and respect for the artists.
