Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money for Freehold Theatre Lab Studio in Seattle, and any donation will make an impact.  

Freehold has been around for 27 years and engages artists of all levels in training and experimentation so that they may become more innovative and heartfelt in generating theatre that has a lasting impact on the community.  As of late, Freehold has been hit by an unfortunate financial double whammy and it has put the normally tenuous financial situation of any not-for-profit arts organization in especially difficult straights.  After losing the Belltown space and being forced to move, Freehold ran a capital campaign in order to renovate and develop the new space in the International District.  That campaign came up short and the company was forced to draw on a bank loan and a  line of credit to make up the difference.  Now Freehold is making large monthly payments to pay down the line of credit and pay off loans.  Then in September,  just shy of a year after opening the doors in the new location, a pipe 20 feet under the street outside the building burst, flooding Freehold's offices and bathrooms and destroying them.  This lead to a substantial loss of business and extra expenses to rent both office and classroom spaces in order to continue providing classes for the quarter.  

Please join me in giving back to Freehold when there is a real need.  I know that many of you have given money and time and support of all kinds in the past.  You and I are the foundation on which Freehold stands,  Freehold needs a little shoring up so please join me in
SAYING YES.  

If we raise $10,000, we will be matched by $10,000, so your donation is doubled!  
 
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
