Bonjour,
We’re excited to tell you that a wonderful patron—who wishes to remain anonymous—has renewed the same generous pledge she made last year: a Challenge Grant to support the work at City Garage. Not only that, but she actually increased the amount to $25,000! It’s wonderful news and will help make possible what we do at City Garage. But we need you in order to match these funds by June 28th—the closing date of our next show. Can you help us get there? Any donation large or small is welcome. Follow this link to play your part—and merci in advance!

About the Play:
“Limonade Tous les Jours: A Paris Love Story” by Charles L. Mee May 22 – June 28, 2026
Obie Award winning playwright Charles L. Mee creates a magical love story in the city of light. YaYa, a vivacious young Parisian cabaret singer, and Andrew, a reserved American in his 50s, are both recovering from ruined relationships. When they meet at a Paris cafe and then, without quite meaning to, spend the day together, they speak of all the reasons why they shouldn’t fall in love. And so, of course, they do. Featuring classic French cabaret songs, this lovely, lyrical piece love story with music is a deep exploration of love and desire, of why people come together, and the hunger for connection that keeps us trying—no matter how many times we fail.
