ABOUT:
Welcome to our exciting new approach to helping professional actors make a living while enjoying their craft in a nurturing and creatively open environment. We present our first endeavor: TWeLfth NiGhT bend WHAT you WILL! To be captured on video and presented as webisodes! We are in need of funding for this project so that professional actors can be used as well as funding for production and post-production costs! We will shoot these webisodes using minimal sets and costuming. We will tell the complete story as written by William Shakespeare with no edits to the text and most importantly, we will BeND the genders as perhaps suggested by the playwright through his character’s preferences and as documented from theatrical history itself!

The Strumstick will be featured in our production!!!! Through a generous donation directly from the Strumstick manufacturers we will be using this beautiful instrument in our production!!!!!! The character of Feste accompanies himself as he sings and we found this instrument to best suit our needs! It captures both a renaissance and modern feel. I look forward to hearing my melodies come to life on the Strumstick! For more information on this very cute, easy to play instrument visit: http://www.strumstick.com/
