Kickstarter

Hello our dear backers, 

so, our Edinburgh run is FINITO:(, but we are very happy with what we were able to achieve. 

1. Please see reviews, we got ★★★★ from all three of them: http://www.broadwaybaby.com/listing.php?id=16524http://edfringereview.com/r/UBq4UpqwSLCiEVdNXDx6yg

2. We sold out our last night:) Only after 7 shows. A big achievement in a festival with over 40,000 shows. Imagine what would happen if we were able to stay longer:)

3. We now have few UK producers interested in us and a potential UK collaboration might be on the way in the future. 

4. For those of you who have opted for rewards, you should have received an email with additional info we've asked form you (mailing address, etc) and date info on when we deliver your rewards to you. If you haven't gotten back to us, please do so at your earliest convenience so we can finalize our reward mission:) A short update on Fontana di Trevi videos: it was raining during the two days I spent in Rome last week and I couldn't get the videos done. But no worries, we will be back in Rome at the end of Aug and a chance that it will rain again is minimal (at least we hope so:)

We do hope you are enjoying your summer, and as a little reward, please enjoy a picture of our director in a kilt. We played a trick on him and told him it was a tradition to wear it for the directors presenting their work at the fringe for the first time:)

Hello dear friends, 

with only few weeks left before we leave to Edinburgh, we wanted to reach out to you and give our big THANKS to all of you. 

So, what's new?

1. We are leaving in a week back to Rome to rejoin our director Giampiero and go back to drilling non-stop rehearsals until we fly to Scotland on Aug 1. 

2. We got a new stage manager joining our group Francesca De Magistris and she's already being doing a great job helping us with PR and other organizational tasks. 

3. We will have a showcase/pre-premiere for our friends and colleagues in Rome at the end of July, so those of you who live in Rome, will be in Rome, we will make sure to send out invitations ahead of the time. A big Thanks to Teatro Piccolo Re Di Roma for being generous and providing us with the space for the rehearsals and the showcase in Rome. 

4. A big Thank you to Cladia LaBianca for designing the flyers and posters to our show. You rock and we love you:). See below the poster

5. And last, but definitely not least: we will be reaching out to all of you individually within next few days to gather all necessary information we might need from you in order to fulfill our promise to YOU. So please stay tuned and check out your email boxes. 

Thanks again, everybody have a great day.

Good morning everybody, 

Week # 1 of our campaign is behind us and we are 25% there. Wow, feeling love from everybody. Thank you. Running a campaign such as this one is rewarding in many ways, seeing how many people give their love and support is inspiring and it will make you for sure get out of the bed thinking WHAT ELSE WE CAN GIVE BACK in return for your support. 

So, we've been thinking and thinking. And we have decided to GIVE MORE FOR LESS!!!!! (Living next to a store called Less for Lot for sure had an impact on our way of thinking:):

We have come up with SOME NEW SPECIAL REWARDS: check out $70, $250 and $1,050 rewards and see what we have in store for you. 

Those of you who have donated  $70 or more will automatically receive these new rewards based on how much you've donated thus far. 

Those of you who have NOT donated $70 or more, I have a question for you: DO YOU DARE TO DONATE LITTLE EXTRA MORE AND RECEIVE MORE FOR LESS???? DO YOU???:) It's simple, just go back to your donation and select to donate more based on how much you can give. 

We appreciate your love and support, please remember every additional $ you can  spare counts. We are here for you should you have any questions, concerns, critic or suggestions. 

And please, if you can, pass along this information onto your friends, businesses who like to support art, Italian culture or just would love to donate. 

And as a special bonus, our actor Katarina recently posed as Monica Vitti, a fabulous Italian actress we adore. Here's a preview from her photoshoot, by Rudy Le Codiac, a photographer we love. And we love the gun, SHE FOR SURE LOOKS LIKE SHE DARES!!!!!

Thanks everybody and have a great day!

Guys, 

thank you for your support. 4 days into the fundraising and we are 18% there. Great job, thank you so much, we couldn't have done it without you:)))

Plus, I'd like to share a personal thank you to Jeff Aronson from Rovers Magazine. While reaching out to my friends and acquaintances to support our project, Jeff has contacted me and offered to do an interview about our play and work in the upcoming issue of Rovers Magazine.

Knowing that our actor Gaetano is a huge Rover enthusiast, this just seemed like a perfect combo. You see, life can be good. You put your best self out there and the universe will reach back to you. 

And if you are ready for it, a casual accident can lead to something good. Like Yancey, one of the co-founders of Kickstarter would say: "You've got to be there for the Accident". For more, read his inspirational blog: http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/index.php/archives/2012/05/08/youve-got-to-be-there-for-the-accident/

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Katarina
