Abundance: The Education Story
Thurs - Sat, June 14-16, 2012
Creative exploration of the magical muses and challenges of abundance and our “education” that leads to it. How do we learn/affirm/develop and share the skills we use to thrive?... engaging specifically with war tax resistance, redirection of United Nations funding to Sudan, and current education structures/practices in New York City.
....What exactly is this? call it a theatrical experiment honoring and blessing abundance. A lush creation/collaboration sewing seeds for more – in and of itself a gift to us and the world. As much about process - how we shift and grow in perspectives in desired and surprising ways - as about the actual shows.
You are invited to be part of the process - (we're creating now!) Includes open workshops on Saturday mornings.

The Capital Campaign
In 2000, WOW
launched its first large-scale fundraising effort, a capital campaign
to help us buy and renovate our theater. The City of New York has sold the tenants of 59-61 East 4th Street the
building for $1!
The caveat: That we raise the funds to
renovate the building, and bring it up to code. WOW’s share of renovation costs is about $125,000. As
we have survived solely on box-office sales for 25 years, this is more
money than we’ve ever had or needed in the past. |
When we do
succeed in securing these funds, WOW will own its own permanent theater
space in a completely renovated building.
One of the most
exciting aspects, which we have achieved, is the addition of a functional 24/7
self-service elevator! Yet to come is a sink for the bathroom, and dare we say air-conditioning?!
|
|
We have raised more than 3/4 of the total, but are not there yet! In order to make this possible, we urgently need your financial help! No
donation is too small or too large, and any amount will help us ensure
that theatre by women and/or by transgender people continues to thrive and be ever-increasingly accessible. |
