THANK YOU FOR HELPING US FUEL OUR INITIAL GOAL OF $2500!
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE DONORS WHO HELPS US FUEL FROM $2500 to $3000, you will be eligible for a "BARISTAS VIP PACKAGE" featuring access to our final dress rehearsal -and- a cartooning lesson with our playwright/graphic designer Evan Twohy! LET THE FUELING CONTINUE!
BARISTAS: DONATE-A-LATTE!
HELP US BREW FRINGENYC's HOTTEST NEW DARK (ROAST) COMEDY FOR THE PRICE OF A CUP OF COFFEE!
Baristas, the award-winning play written by 22-year-old sensation Evan Twohy, makes its New York premiere at the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival this August, following its well-received debut as a selection of the Agnes Nixon Playwriting Festival at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL). In order to bring this production to life, we need your help in raising money to produce the play! Instead of making that Starbucks stop today, please consider donating to this exciting community project!
Your donations will help fund all aspects of the production, including but not limited to set, lighting, costumes, rehearsal space, and advertising materials! Every donation makes a big difference! If we don't raise $2500.00 in 30 days, you get your money back, but Baristas will be broke, as RocketHub is an all-or-nothing operation.
A LITTLE MONEY MEANS A "LATTE" TO US!
ABOUT BARISTAS
A robust blend of comedy, horror, and poetry, Baristas is the story of Camille and Ramon, two baristas who work in a pretentious coffee shop. Together, they quickly find the only thing that gets them through the lackluster workday is their mutual fascination with famous serial killer couples. As they retell stories of history's wickedest paramours, the baristas begin to fall in love⎯ but can their vanilla-latte romance compare to the passions of cold-blooded murderers? Baristas begs New Yorkers to question if love can thrive despite sterile environments, hectic schedules and the pressures of human existence.
Under the direction of Scott Weinstein (Murder for Two) and produced by Zachary Baer, Baristas will open shop this August at the Kraine Theatre, 85 East 4th Street, New York, NY.
The Baristas cast features Reggie Gowland, Kenner Bolt, Joel Sinensky, and Isabel Richardson. The Baristas team is comprised of 20+ college students and recent graduates, making it one of the youngest FringeNYC 2010 productions!
Performances of Baristas will be held:
Sunday, August 15 @ 2:00pm
Wednesday, August 18 @ 9:00pm
Thursday, August 19 @ 11:00pm
