A couple of years ago, I got our GreyZelda troupe together and presented a church-like idea ... we all would start contributing more, both artistically and even a little bit financially ... say each member gave $10.00 to the company each week ... that would buy you a couple meals at Taco Bell or a pack of cigarettes and a pop at 7-11 or a couple of drinks at a bar, etc - stuff people buy and consume anyway without a thought. I was met with several black stares and no one wanted to move forward with the idea. They expect the money to come from fundraising or the founders' pockets (ie mine and my husbands.)<BR/><BR/>This is a model I'm very interested in but I'd have to research and experiment with how to elicit the type of response a church can get.<BR/><BR/>And, again, maybe this has something to do with living in a large city where so many people are asking for others time and money. I think back to my community theatre days in Jonesville, MI and people didn't have trouble committing and giving to theatre, so ... <BR/><BR/>Yeah. =)<BR/><BR/>RZRebeccaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464629645834665372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16876687.post-1130842981111704312005-11-01T06:03:00.000-05:002005-11-01T06:03:00.000-05:00The after theatre chats of which you speak sometim...The after theatre chats of which you speak sometimes occur at the bars at Royal Court and the Old Vic in London.
