Fundraiser
Robin, much to her husband Paul’s chagrin, invites another married couple, Amy and Bernard, over to their mansion before a fundraiser for the private school their daughters attend. After an awkward first meeting, it seems these couples have almost nothing in common…except the silent auction item they hope to win. As it turns out, there’s more on the line than just a prize as the bidding war quickly becomes a hilarious clash of ideas, tax brackets, and personalities. Fresh from our 2025 Next Wave Festival, this world premiere comedy from the playwright behind The Refugees is sharp, timely, and heartfelt.

"I think Brent Askari is the next Neil Simon of our time. The Refugees was one of my all-time favorite plays, and Fundraiser did not disappoint at all. I will be following his career with great anticipation. His ability to supply humor along with such convincingly conflicting points of view is pure genius."
