BECAUSE not everyone can come to our shows, we would like to extend to you the opportunity to pretend that you did! By donating $10 to Polybe + Seats, we will absolve you of guilt for always missing your good Polybe + Seats friends' performances. Please visit http://www.polybeandseats.org/support.html and donate by credit card or check. It is a worthy cause; check out what else your money can do! $10: pay the entire annual salary of our Artistic Director Jessica Brater. $15: pretend that you attended a previous show, or a future show. $30: sponsor an entire rehearsal. $100: befuddle the entire company with your generosity! NEWS In addition to planning [Mother] Russia, we have been working since January to develop a show based on the paintings of artist Charlotte Salomon, collected under the name "Life? Or Theater?," we presented a [partially] staged reading for an invited audience at the Red Room this past June, which went beautifully. The challenge of staging Salomon??™s 1300 paintings is a daunting one, but we are rising to the challenge and are planning a workshop in the spring. Also, we are pursuing funding and residency opportunities. Ah, the life of a non-profit theater company. Some of you may have also joined us at our two series, SpeakEasy and The Ladies' Auxiliary Telephone Bee. Our most recent SpeakEasy was at The Tank on 42nd Street and featured a portion of the Charlotte Salomon project, music by The Truthseekers, a film by Antonia Grilikhes-Lasky, a play by Elizabeth Emmons, and a lion who eats little boys. The Ladies' Auxiliary Telephone Bee, in which we put on our Sunday best and join our Gentlemen Callers in speaking live on speakerphone to fascinating experts around the country, was part of The Brick Theater's Moral Values Festival and investigated the fraught issue of "affordable housing." TO SUPPORT this and other great programs, buy yourself a totebag! Or a tshirt! http://www.cafepress.com/polybe Or, if you skimmed over our fundraising plea earlier in this email, please visit http://www.polybeandseats.org/support.html to be our friend. Or, if you joined our mailing list at one of our fabulous bake sales in Williamsburg (As we like to say, "cupcakes for the arts!"), please visit our website (http://www.polybeandseats.org) to refresh your memory about why you thought we were so cool in the first place. We hope to see you for vodka and herring (and theater) at UnionDocs in October! Love, Polybe + Seats info@polybeandseats.org www.polybeandseats.org |
