Update #1: Fringe Update!
Posted on February 16, 2010
Dear Backers,
Hello! It's Karim here! First of all, I want to thank you for your support of "A Short Lecture of a Different Time". With 50 days to go, we're already rapidly approaching the $1000 goal!
But great news! The show has been accepted into the Cincinnati Fringe Festival! However, to go and perform there in June I need to raise $2000. So I'm asking for your help. In order to raise this money, I need to spread the word about the show to as many people as possible. Here's what you can do:
1. Post the link to the kickstarter page on your facebook, myspace, twitter, and encourage others on your friend lists to do the same.
2. Have a blog? Post it there too!
3. Send out an e-mail to people who you think would be interested.
4. Donate yourself! (every little bit helps)
Every bit of help you can give is seriously really appreciated. This show has been a dream of mine for a long time, and now I'm really close to seeing it come true. Thanks, and see you around :)
-Karim

Karim Muasher was born in Amman, Jordan, and immigrated to the United States at an early age. He studied theatre at Ithaca College in upstate New York where he received his BFA in Acting. It was here that Karim began to create original work, incorporating comedy, puppetry, and physical theatre. Karim worked at various theatres across New York State, including the Hangar Theatre, Geva Theatre, and in the New York International Fringe Festival, before heading to London to study for his MFA in Lecoq Based Physical Theatre. While in London, Karim continued to create original work, from a scathing satire of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the adventures of two musically inclined health and safety officers, as well as forming the international theatre company Giant Bird. His work has been called “gleefully low budget”, “bound for great heights”, and “so like life in my head.” Back in the US and based in Astoria, Karim continues to create absurd work out of the realities around him.
