Fundraising Campaign opens on Thursday

Fundraising Campaign opens on Thursday

On Thursday at 10am we will be launching our fundraising campaign to take Stars on tour. We need to raise £1,200 to get our show off the ground. So the most important question – Why should you hand over your hard earned cash to us?

Why is this work important?

Because it breaks down the stereotype that people on benefits are lazy and looking for a handout that is constantly reinforced by the media. Adam and Bev each tell the story from their own very different perspectives. It isn’t a self-pitying tale of woe, but a play about ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. It is a story which needs to be told and we want as many people as possible to see it.

What will happen to your money?

£5 – you have printed the scripts to use in rehearsal
£10 – you have booked an hour of rehearsal space
£25 – you have transported the actors to Preston
£50 – you have paid an actors wage for a performance
£100 – you have printed our marketing materials
£200 – you have hired The Lantern Theatre for one performance

Why do we need it?

This is a Fringe Theatre Production with five actors, all of whom will be working very hard for very little financial reward.  If we can take care of as many of these pre-production costs as possible, the more we are able to market the show. The more people who come to see it the higher the box office split for the actors.

I can’t wait to launch this campaign and share this journey with as many people as possible. See you Thursday!
