Support Season 8: for the People, by the People
WE DID IT!
We made our goal to raise $2,017 in 2017 to Bring Back Eric. In fact we surpassed it! Thank you!
Our job isn't finished yet though. We still have lots of fun things to pay for in 2018 in order to make sure the Tour happens. If you are able to assist in anyway, please consider making a donation.
Things we are fundraising for specifically
Bring Eric Back - $2,017 DONE
Costume actors - $750 DONE
Have auditions - $250
Print scripts - $45
Pay our actors - $4,150
Feed an actor for a day - $6 (seriously your gift of $6 feeds one of them for an entire day - that's the magic of Stone Soup)
Help us keep reaching for new tour locations, more collaborations with more artists, a living wage for our performers and more stories for you, our neighbors in your backyard, and remember your donation is tax deductible*!
Oh, and know that it really doesn't matter if you can't help financially, we are confident we will find a way to make it near you soon, so please join us for some fun this season, and remember to say hi whenever we are in your backyard.
