Update #9: The End is Only The Beginning

Posted on May 31, 2010

We raised $1,145 in pledges and even though we didn't make our goal, we were able to make some amazing contacts along the way. Even though this part of the process has passed, we are confident that our future is bright and we will be successful. It's because of you that we are able to continue to do the work that we will continue.

If you would like to make your pledge a reality, we could use your help. Please send all donations to:

Actor's Company of Tulsa
C/O: Arts and Humanites Council
2210 South Main Street
Tulsa, OK 74114-1190

Please make all checks or money orders to "AHCT" and in the memo line write "Actors Company of Tulsa".

Thanks again, and check out the many great project by searching Tulsa in the top search engine. I believe that the more creative projects that we get out there the better. Post yours, get something started, and in the words of a great group of people at a restaurant that is no longer in business, "Make Your Own Tulsa"

Sincerely,

Update #8: Happy Memorial Day

Posted on May 31, 2010

Dear Backers and Friends,

We've reached the final day of our challenge and I am so happy that I can't even hardly stand it. We are privileged to have met the 27 backers who support the arts and theatre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Whether we make our goal or not, we have made some great friends along the way. Thanks to the 27 people who pledged their support and we just wanna say thank you in a simple way.

We'll see you soon, and you'll be hearing more from us as the days go on. Please buy your tickets early at http://bit.ly/thevisittulsa to take advantage of the $8 pricing for "The Visit" coming to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center June 24-27. Those prices end today, so get those while you can.

Sincerely,
Starr William Hardgrove
Artistic Director, Actors Company of Tulsa

Update #7: 36 Hours To Go! Can We Make It

Posted on May 30, 2010

We have 36 hours to go and we need your help. Please call everyone you know and tell them that now is the time to give to Actors Company of Tulsa. You can make the difference in what we are trying to accomplish. Over the course of 30 days, we have raised $950 dollars for the cause. We need a massive funding landslide in the next 36 hours to make it happen. We are asking everyone to call your friends and tell them the following:

"Hello, ___________, how are you doing? Have you heard the latest about Actors Company of Tulsa? Well, apparently they have about 36 hours to raise 4000+ dollars for their show and they need our help. All of the information is on their website and there are several ways in which you can help. Go there and pledge $1 or more, leave a comment on the comment tab, or spread the word by posting the link of http://bit.ly/pledgeactorsoftulsa. They are planning on doing their summerstage show and then opening up an acting school, but they can't do it without our help. Thanks for taking the time, and thanks for helping Tulsa actors."

We can have a landslide and make a difference, but only if we get the word out. Thanks for your continued support and we'll see you in 36 hours.
