Rewards Update & Stimulus To Be Revived Dec. 19

Update #4 · Sep 15, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone,

You should have received your rewards by now. Please let me know if you didn't - I'll rectify it immediately!

Excellent news - thanks in no small part to her persuasive case for weaving concubinage into our country's socio-economic fabric, Amanda's been invited to give her talk again at Dixon Place Dec. 19 at 7:30. Mark your calendars! The talk will be paired with a short excerpt of a play-in-progress of mine, a telenovela-stage play mashup tentatively titled "Sabrina, La Caprichosa" (Sabrina, the Capricious One)

For those who couldn't make the May performance, to give you a taste of the vivid, evocative projections, attached is one that captures the moment in which Walmart heiress Christy Walton, the wealthiest woman in America, invites her concubine Manuel Venegas for the first time into her boudoir. Don't let her big smile fool you. She's as nervous as he is!

Best regards,

Felipe

We did it! We reached our goal!

Update #1 · Apr 11, 2012 · comment

A million thanks for supporting our project and bringing a little sanity to the national conversation on one of our country’s most serious socio-economic problems. Mischief-making aside, we’re genuinely touched. We won’t let you down.


"The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems — the problems of life," John Maynard Keynes.

"What is bondage, really, except another word for freedom?" Amanda McCloud, during the last freshman seminar she gave at Williams College before being dismissed and banned from campus

We’ll include it in a list of her detractors. This roll call will form part of her presentation, either as a leaflet or as a projection. We will also e-mail this list to you.

    Send us pictures of the interior of your home and we will use a key item for the decor of some our boudoir scenarios. This will not be in our debut production but will be included in subsequent stagings. We will send you the slides when they are ready. It goes without saying that you'll also get a t-shirt, graphic at left.
