Update #3: We Did It!!
With your tremendous generosity and web-savvyness, you helped us make our Kickstarter goal with a whole six days to spare. Thank you so very much for helping us realize our dream of creating a show that we can share with our community and the world at large. We look forward to getting ready for our tour the first week of May, then posting updates on our blog about our progress.
With much appreciation & admiration,
PEP

Update #2: Come See Us in Roanoke July 2 & 3!
We are thrilled to travel to Roanoke, VA (with your help of course) to teach a workshop to playwriting grad students from Hollins and perform on July 2nd & 3rd at Studio Roanoke, a theater committed to being a home for new plays and the people who create them. Check out their site and tell your friends: http://www.studioroanoke.org.
Update #1: Did you know this?
In 2010, the state of Virginia is celebrating women in the arts with their Minds Wide Open project: http://vamindswideopen.org/. This is a great time to support and tell people about all-female theatre companies like PEP. Our play Our American Ann Sisters directly and wackily addresses the questions and contradictions inherent in women choosing an artistic life or a life of the mind.

PEP is an all-female collective of 5 Virginia theatre artists with a two-fold mission:
* To develop and perform original works in and for our own communities. To date we have created three original performances (Zelda & Lucia’s Loony Bin Tragedy, Dido Versus The Squid Monster, and Our American Ann Sisters), produced two large-scale collaborative carnivals (Wunderkammer and Shentai) at the Ix Building in Charlottesville, and toured a working demonstration called “Building Performance: A Look at Actor-Created Physical Actions.”
* To host like-minded performers and theater companies from around the U.S. and the world for residencies of performance, workshops, and exchange. Our first exchange, in 2005, was with Serbia’s Dah Theatre/Jadranka Andjelic Project. To maximize the human contact and conversation, we provided food, shelter and performing space to our guests. In exchange for their performances and workshops, we offered our experience of living/working in this community, as well as our own performances and training demonstrations. We believe that the interaction instigated by our collective can serve as an example and catalyst for an ever-widening network of like-minded artists opening their doors and sharing their communities.
Though we have all worked together in different configurations for over 10 years, PEP formed in 2005. PEP is Martha Mendenhall, Sian Richards, Kara McLane Burke, Doreen Bechtol, and Jennifer Hoyt Tidwell.
Yay! Congratulations!!!!!!
Fabulous! You guys deserve it.
