THIS IS MY LAST ATTEMPT AT FAME

Hi, All -

I am creating a new, theater piece and I am asking for support to help put it up in October.  Here's a little bit about the piece:

THIS IS MY LAST ATTEMPT AT FAME

"This Is My Last Attempt At Fame" is about making art without fame, odes to animals and finding the sexy within domesticity.  Storytelling, dance, music, poetry, humor, love letters, admissions, declarations and a little, madcap fun make up this solo piece.  Throughout it is the acknowledgement of time passing.  Under it is the desire for comfort fighting to overtake creativity.  At the heart of it is you.  You who thought your life would look one way and it looks another.  This is an offering for you.  

All money raised will go towards the production:   payment for the production team (director, lighting designer, stage manager) and costume, set, props as well as marketing and rehearsal space.

Thank you so much for your consideration and your support of the arts!  Xo, Vic.
