As we look towards next season, we find ourselves at a point where the opportunities we want to provide these artists far outstrips ticket sales. So we turn to you now in the hopes that you'll make a tax-deductible charitable contribution to Desipina. With just 100 donors contributing $100 each, we can raise enough to put a deposit down on a theater for Seven.11 Year Six. Please help us continue entertaining you while putting out new cultural images that are desperately needed in this society. Please support a company that has already identified scores of talented Desi and East Asian artists. Support a company with a five year track record of innovation. Celebrate Desipina's greatest season ever, by supporting our next season. To contribute, please email us a pledge and refer to the giving levels below, some of which are named after characters from our flagship production: Seven.11. Thank you for your generosity. Every little bit helps! We do hope you'll consider this request and join our growing list of donors! You can either donate online via PayPal or Google Checkout on the right or mail your check directly to Desipina at the address below.
Desipina & Company DONATION LEVELS:
Calling for Seven.11 Submisions!
Now entering its SIXTH year, the awarding- winning Seven.11 Convenience Theatre (2008) is now open for submissions! Come be a part of the wildly popular, downtown NYC series, which takes seven, 11-minute plays, all set in a convenience store, and weaves them together to present an evening of entertaining quickies for all to enjoy. Selected plays receive a full production in downtown NYC's theatre scene, scheduled for May 2008, and a modest, honorary stipend. Writers are also given the opportunity to participate in a team workshopping process. Click here for further details on last year's production. Deadline: December 30, 2007 (must be received by, not postmarked!) Email submissions to: convenience@desipina.org Or mail your play to: All scripts must be 11 pages or less, in proper play format, with a max of three actors (role-doubling, however, is permitted) and set in a convenience store. No other requirement than to write something that challenges, defies, or just tells a darn good story. Each play should be able to stand alone; many of the plays from our previous Seven.11's have had independent productions around the country. Some themes from previous plays a futuristic race to claim the jewel of Ancient American bodegas, a young man tries to earn Kung Fu from a book to impress a girl, and two runaways end up in a 7-11 in search of road snacks. Don't wait, send your play now! |
