Do Something Patriotic...support the arts with part of your stimulus
check!
In order to continue producing this caliber of theatre, we need your
immediate help to mount the upcoming season.
We plan three shows to be produced in Portland while Arts Equity
looks for a suitable and permanent home somewhere in the greater
Portland/SW Washington area. We are in about the same place as
Artists Repertory was when they moved from the YWCA to their current
home. We think we can do the same during this upcoming season.
To do so we are also looking for a small group of real estate
investors willing to form a limited partnership in order to secure a
building of our own in which to produce and perform.
To support our artistic endeavors call the theatre or donate by sending a check to the address below or...
Telephone: 360-695-3770
If your corporate entity wishes to contribute via THE UNITED WAY,
you can do so by stipulating that you are donating to Arts Equity
Onstage. Here is the link
http://www.unitedway-pdx.org/
We want to thank Teri Elioff of Vancouver for setting up
our donation account with The United Way. It is set up to handle
payroll deductions as well. Things you need to know about donating
through United Way are that there is no transaction fee, but it takes
a while for us to receive the funds.
So if you really want to make a patriotic difference in the arts send
a check and it will also save us the credit card fees.
HELP US TAKE OUR 4TH SEASON ON THE ROAD
We have options on theatres in Portland to do 3 shows next season.
Included in the season pending final details are:
1. 21A by Kevin Kling
Kevin wrote "The Ice Fishing Play" in our first season. This
one man tour-de-force features Joey LeBard (Eintstein in Picasso at
the Lapin Agile) playing all eight of the people on a Minneapolis bus.
This hilarious and decidedly different work had them rolling in the
isles at Actors Theatre of Louisville's famed Humana Festival, where
it won the Heidemann Award.
2. TRUE MUMMY by Tom Cone
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theatre,
another masterpiece by Tom Cone the author who wrote HERRINGBONE.
True Mummy refers to a black luminous, clear glaze, the "best shellac
in the history of art" that was made from the ash of cremated mummies.
What is sacred today? Is any degree of desecration justified if it
is in the pursuit of truth and the creation of art? There is no
shortage of ideas in Tom Cone's probing play!
3. THE GOD OF HELL by Sam Shepard
An uproarious, brilliantly provocative farce that brings the
gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on the current
American dilemma. Written and premiered during the present
adminstration, In The God of Hell aggressive patriotism puts the
characters on the defensive, transforming a heartland American
household into a scene of torture and promoting a radioactive brand of
conformity with a dangerously low half life.
