*ahem* ...shameless begging to ensue
The good news: My new play has been accepted to the New York International Fringe Festival! This is prestigious! Plus, my play is funny! And titillating!
The not-so-good news: Theater costs money. Plus a lot of time, energy, and stuff.
Conclusion: I could really use your help. And the help of any human being you know.
My newest play, The Boy on the Other Side of the World, is going to be presented at the New York International Fringe Festival in Manhattan in August.
If you are so inclined you can:
~ Say supportive things. (I need them! See that nifty widget below and in the sidebar? That's Evoca's dandy browser mic. If your computer has a mic, you can leave me an audio comment. Only I hear them!)
~ Buy tickets in advance when they go on sale late July. (Link to come!)
~ Volunteer your labors in many many ways... (Tell me what your skills are and I can find a use for them! Email boyontheotherside@jillwrites.com.)
~ Donate whatever money you find on the street, in your pocket, or in the wallets of your friends when they're too drunk to notice. (My theater company has a 501c3 tax exemption so all donations to the production are tax deductible. That link or the widget below--also in the sidebar--takes you to our Chip-in page. It's safe! It's secure! And every penny helps! PLUS we'll put your name in the groovy programs!)
Read more about the play under "My New Play".
And thanks to two tireless women who are already on board:
My dear friend Brooklyn Hilary, the multi-talented photographer / stage manager / production manager / go-getter / business woman / wrangler of Jill is my right-hand woman in this endeavor. And my long-time theatrical collaborator-in-crime, Thinking Violet, will be magically assisting me from her new perch in Chicago.
Wish us a lot of broken legs.

Congratulations! That's awesome. Were I in NY, I'd certainly chip in. I could pass out fliers on the street or maybe sell my body for $4 a pop.

I've got about $50 in pennies I was saving for retirement or a Harley (whichever came first), but since the copper is worth about $4.50 a pound now and it only takes 180 or so pennies to have a pound. . . . I'll wait while you do the math. . . . (I know how quickly you did those two calculations, the typing makes it seem like I'm insulting your math skills, I am NOT no matter what appearances look like). . . . So if Karl sells his body 31.25 times and I cash in those copper pennies you could be $250 closer to your goal.
Oh and Karl, don't undervalue yourself. If copper is at $4.50 a pound, you should easily be able to get $6 or maybe even $7 a renting.

Hey, you added the Evoca thing back. I remember commenting something about that months ago. Hooray!
Fear not, Jill. I'm sure your fans will be able to rake together enough money to sponsor your project.

This is so exciting, Jill! Congratulations to you. It couldn't happen to a sweeter playwright.

Congratulations, that is brilliant news. I've done the Fringe Festival twice (2000 & 2001) and it was so very worthwhile. I'm on the other side of the world, but if I can help with anything (the Voice of Experience) just say the word.

Hey Jill, congrats, well done you.
I tried the Evoca thing, and whilst it did show a little waveform that was obviously registering my voice, it failed to make any kind of audio file. Well, at least it told me that.
Prolly another example of PC chauvinism...
So yez missed out on my Aussie accent.
