My play, an audience immersion production titled WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Has been accepted for its world premier into the Philly Fringe Festival for three performances in September. These are the expenses I must meet in order to launch the production:
$1130 for venue, insurance and production. ($565 due June 15th)
$870 for props, and audience gifts need by August 1st.
Each donation over $25 will receive a free aura portrait session over zoom (emailed or mailed a physical picture) or a free ticket to one of the performances in Philadelphia
Description:
Who Do You Think You Are?
Is a question we may have asked ourselves or been asked in a condescending sort of way. Kind of like, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" as if you're not already being someone.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Everyone is born with that something that makes them unique. Some talent, some passion, some heart's desire that perhaps was never spoken out loud, lest the delicate dream disappear and disappointment becomes the fuel that forms a life. Life happens and the dream gets buried, but in a shallow grave. It remains under the surface just waiting to come to fruition. Until it does, it may feel like something's missing--a burning desire, a gaping hole...
Who Do You Think You Are?
Will take you on a journey into the origin story of Rose Love, born with a voice, and a dream. But then as with many, life intrudes. "Reality" sets in and the voice gets silenced, but not completely. And with the help and inspiration from the audience, Rose Love can realize her dream and express herself freely. In the process, audience members will explore their own aspriations and dreams while expressing their own unique voices in a chorus of joy.
