Dear Friends, Followers, and Donors,
Many thanks to you for supporting our endeavors. It's incredible to think how far we've come with the help of people who love and believe in us.
We were buying fabric just over a year ago for our first production - and here I am typing to you while preparing to leave for a rehearsal that will not only take this show on to Edinburgh, Scotland, but back to NYC where it will be showcased in a venue you helped us to obtain. We will never be able to repay you for the blessing you have bestowed upon us. All we can say is thank you. thank you. thank you. You are each incredible and have found a way to touch us like we've never been touched.
With Love,
The Tempest Ladies

'Ello! (That's British for hello.)
I'm Dana. I think I'm the last Tempest Lady (do I capitalize these words?) to introduce myself and I know I'm the one who suffers the severest case of writer's block. I am also self-conscious about my apprehension of proper grammar; and punctuation? Anyway, I felt compelled to write a few words of very emphatic THANKS in light of recent events! Since launching our Kickstarter fundraising page three days ago, our generous project backers have donated $2236.00! We are already 75% funded and 10000000% thankful. It means the world to know that we have such a large and caring support system of friends, family, and professors willing to lend a helping hand and share in this experience. We are truly grateful for each contribution whether it be a monetary gift, a gift of wisdom and advice, or candy (which can be mailed directly to me...for distribution...to the other tempest ladi- my stomach). Please know that we are infinitely inspired by your generosity and "thus humble ever". We still have $764.00 to raise in 34 days so "gentle breath of yours [our] sails must fill, for else [our] project fails, which was to please". That was a quote from a play by William Snakesteare, I believe it is called The Temptress and it's funny 'cause it's true! If we are half as lucky (and I'm no good at percentages) as we have been in the past 72 hours, I'm sure we will achieve our goal! Thank you thank you thank you again and again and again for all the kindness and support. We love you.

Kickstarter!
Hey All,
Our latest endeavor has been launched! We're looking to raise $3000 from supporters and sponsors, fans and friends (like you) through our newly developed Kickstarter account. What would six women do with $3000? ...Wouldn't you like to know. ;)
We're taking our show straight from Edinburgh in August - to you! That's right - this September, you will have the opportunity to see what only overseas audiences will have witnessed - The Tempest.
But we can't do it without you! Sure, we can memorize lines, make costumes, build props and instruments, but we can't book a venue without your generous contributions.
So give up an itunes song ($1), give up a latte ($5), give up a night on the town ($20), give up your overnight getaway ($100), give up your dream vacation ($500) - okay - maybe you should take the dream vacation... But if you give it up, give it to us! We'll put it to the best use. Promise.
