More is thy due than more than all can pay

As our Macbeth workshop dates get closer and closer. We cannot help but feel overwhelming gratitude and love for all of the people out there who support us. There are a few choice people out there that deserve special shout outs.

The Bergs. All of the Bergs, especially Mike and Shirley, for all of their support over the years! They made our trip to Istanbul so special. Not only did they come to all four of our shows (now that’s support!!) they also took on roles as our Public Relations Representatives. They helped us fill seats and even find a venue (they've helped us fill seats for this workshop as well!). Shirley designed our beautiful poster for our Tempest and she will design a fantastic image for our Macbeth. They have made all of us feel like their daughters and we are happy to have them in our Tempest Ladies family!

Have you noticed the amazing website: tempestladies.com? Or maybe our amazing poster/flyer design for our Macbeth? These were both beautifully executed and maintained by the talented Will Hart. At the ripe age of 16 (I know) he has built his own graphic/webpage design company WSH5. Any time we need something added or uploaded or designed he generously donates his services to us for next to nothing (we have the sibling discount). If there are any up and coming theater companies out there that want to develop a website or need other design help I would highly recommend him. He is utterly professional, skilled, enthusiastic, and fledgling theater company friendly!!! Contact: will@wsh5.com

Last but not least, our fearless leader Lindsay Tanner! We knew that when we started meeting about Macbeth in May that we needed a director who would have a clear vision and creative aesthetic. We got all of that and more with Lindsay. She not only heard what we all envisioned for Macbeth but she brought a myriad of intelligent, insightful and fun ideas of her own. She both supported and challenged us as artists while creating the amazing world of this play. We are eternally grateful that she said yes to leading us on this journey!

We are beyond excited for our Macbeth workshop! We managed to sell out both nights and we are in talks of adding one more workshop night to accommodate the influx of waitlist reservations. We hope to see most of you at our workshop, our three week run or perhaps in Turkey!

All of our love and gratitude,

The Tempest Ladies
