Bemidji Play is New York City Bound

Tax deductible
NEW YORK CITY THEATER FEST BOUND !! 

Cate Belleveau wrote a play about our own Bemidji  , MN daughter Mary Welsh Hemingway and the other women in Ernest Hemingway's life and named it "Mary 4 Martha 3- NO Footnotes ".  It was selected to be part of a NYC Theater Fest called NY SUMMERFEST at the Hudson Theater in mid town Manhattan in late August ! Well, we need for our cast and tech . person to get there! So we come to you dear friends and supporters ! Please do not think - oh my, $5.00-10.00 is too small  because based on my Facebook friends and the actors we can reach that goal in 2 days if you all gave just that much to take Bemidji to a NYC stage.  ( Your support will cover airflights , Cate's long journey from Puposky to Manhattan with props / set / costumes ,  our housing , one bus trip for actor playing Ernest / Grace / Margot Hemingway coming from Pennsylvania. There are Ubers and subways, food, playbills, videotaping, and a small fee to be in the fest to cover their rental of space costs. Please give what you are able !!  No amount too small to get us there !
