Dear Friends and Company Members,
We are pleased to invite you be a part of the inaugural event of our Annual Benefit Series: Miscalled Simplicity: A Showcase of Shakespearean Scenes and Sonnets. As you know one of the integral parts of our Mission is to stay rooted in where we’ve come from while continuing to grow and extend our vision. The Empty Chair Benefit Series is not only our way of raising awareness about causes that are important to us but also our way to give back to the community that fostered us. The charity that Empty Chair has chosen for its Benefit Series this year is Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a leader in breast cancer research.
Breast cancer is an issue that hits close to home for many of us at Empty Chair, and it is time for us to play our part in helping to find a cure. Miscalled Simplicity is a compilation of scenes and poetry that explores the relationships between men and women in Shakespeare and how those relationships reflect our culture today. The showcase focuses on female characters whose strength, resistance, and perseverance have inspired audiences for generations. The showcase will have a two performance run at the Lyon Park Community Center in Arlington Va on the 20th and 21st of May.
This is where we need you. As you know what makes us so strong as a company is our sense of community. And we need the help of each of our company members to make this event successful. We entreat you to become a part of Team Miscalled Simplicity. Whether that means volunteering time or energy to the event, helping us to spread the word or just attending in May we’d love for you to take part.
If you’d like to help out please contact Caroline Brent at: cbrent@emptychairtheatre.org
We’d love you to join the Team.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth, Julia, Caroline and Natasha
The Miscalled Simplicity Team
