Hi and Amplify

[Lisa Laratta]

Dearest Paper Chairses near and far.

Here at the home base we are making a new play, opening March 23rd. We had a great rehearsal last night and I think this one is going to be pretty beautiful. Please come out to see it with us if at all possible. You can stay at my house!

Here is the poster:

Today I am having an Amplify kick off party. We are trying to raise $6000. Please think about giving a little bit $$ and also giving us a shout out on the social media. Every little bit helps. We would really appreciate it. Here is the button and the blurb:

paper chairs is participating in Amplify Austin: I Live Here, I Give Here,
a 24 hour day of community-wide giving from
6 p.m. Thursday March 1 to 6 p.m. Friday March 2.




You can help #Amplify paper chairs' 2017-2018 season and support:

 

• the world premiere of The Repentance of St Joan, written by Austin playwright Patrick Shaw and produced by paper chairs on March 23rd- April 7th 2018 at the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems. This new work is an original theatrical exploration of the contradictions between canonical history and personal recollection. It's also part of our ongoing collaboration with CMPBS which endeavors to discover new way of making sustainable live performance in and for Austin, Texas.
   
• further exploration of Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Producing Director and local playwright Elizabeth Doss' adaptation of The Divine Narcissus by the 17th Century Mexican author Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, who is widely considered The New World's first feminist. Now that we’ve completed a first draft of the translation, paper chairs will use our development series Reckonnoiter to bring performers, a composer and choreographer into the generative process, which will culminate in a six performance showcase in July 2018 at CMPBS.
   
• an exciting new collaboration with the Austin Public Library as we curate an afternoon in September 2018 with local live performance including theatre, film, dance, music, and literature throughout Central Library, Austin's newest architectural wonder.

Join us for our Amplify Kick-off party
March 1st from 6pm-9pm 
at Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Producing Director Lisa Laratta’s house (4008 Cherrywood Rd. 78722).
With locally catered bites and delicious drinks, toast with paper chairs on our journey to a $6,000 goal.

We miss you.
