In August of 2009, Fishtank Performance Studio founders Heidi Van & Corrie Van Ausdal collaborated with actor Matt Weiss and musicians Peter Lawless & Daniel Eichenbaum to create L'HISTOIRE D'AMOUR: A Clown Love Story. It was developed to be performed in the windows of the Fishtank Performance Studio giving Kansas City audiences a unique "theater al fresco" experience.

L'Histoire is a tender tale of a street-sweeping, window-washing clown (Matt Weiss) who falls for the luscious Lucette (Van) whom he sees each day in a pastry shop window. The sweet story turns to a bitter tragedy in this original play that places the audience in the street, looking into the pastry shop.

"Without words, and in just a half-hour, L'Histoire D'Amour works up more excitement between its lovers than most full-length romances." - Pitch, Kansas City

L'HISTOIRE D'AMOUR, produced by Heidi Van's HYBRID: A Theatre Collective, enjoyed a three week run in the windows of the Fishtank and was selected to perform for the Arts KC Luncheon at Starlight Theatre in March of 2010.

This November L'HISTOIRE D'AMOUR has the opportunity to perform in a New Orleans window at the Le Chat Noir Theatre. This fundraising campaign will support costs related to touring the production to New Orleans and participating in the Fringe Festival. This opportunity will provide networking opportunities for the performers as well as producers from HYBRID and the Fishtank to make new connections, gain new patrons and introduce Kansas City window theatre to New Orleans.

Funds raised during this campaign will be used for artist travel to and from New Orleans, accommodations while in New Orleans and artists stipends for their performances at the Fringe!

We value ANY and EVERY contribution, no matter how small, and dearly hope you can help us reach our financial goal!
