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.

other ways to help

Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and tell all your friends to do the same.  If you know of communities that might be interested in us visiting them during our next season, please e-mail us at community@stonesoupshakespeare.com.

Additionally we are looking for some volunteers to assist in capturing images, editing video and working on a very exciting poster project for our season.  If you have experience in any of these areas, or have a quality digital video camera we can borrow (or if you are upgrading and are looking for a home for you old one) we would love to talk to you.  We are working to maximize your donation dollars and match them with grant monies.  Your help in anyway helps us as we move forward.

Additionally this season we are in need of food, red fabric (lots of it), an old fashioned radio, copying, a wooden crate and a wooden ladder...and a van (we're always on the hunt for a van). If you own any of this things and would be willing to let us borrow them for awhile, please e-mail info@stonesoupshakespeare.com.

Remember not only are your cash gifts tax deductible, but certain items can be tax deductible too. Cash gifts can easily be donated online,* and other gifts can be donated by first e-mailing us (one more time send all thoughts to info@stonesoupshakespeare.com).
