A Letter from Our Producing Artistic Director

Dry with a Twist Theatrics

Kevin P. Joyce, Producing Artistic Director

Dear Friend and Supporter of the Arts,

                It is my hope that this letter finds you well and enjoying a healthy and peaceful summer.

                I am writing to you to alert you to a wonderful new company I am currently working with. Dry with a Twist Theatrics is an exciting new collective of emerging artists, whose motto is “Freshly Familiar”. Dry with a Twist seeks to bring to life, in new and exciting ways, our old favorites and dust off some of the forgotten or underperformed works by many of our favorite voices. Having successfully launched their first production, a new adaptation of L’illusion Comique by Pierre Corneille, last October, Dry with a Twist is seeking to continue their mission by launching a new production, in association with Kimille Howard, called Wilde Tales, it is an evening of three fairy tales by Oscar Wilde (who knew he wrote fairy tales?). The piece is fresh and exciting, it employs different mediums of storytelling, including puppetry, music and language, and the play will receive its first production at this year’s Dream Up Festival at Theater for the New City in Downtown Manhattan.

                While all of this is extremely exciting, and will give all of the artists associated incredible experience and exposure to the world of independent New York Theater, we need your help. As you can well imagine, the cost of independently producing new work in New York City is extremely high. I am reaching out to you to ask you to dig deep into your heart and pockets to contribute to the fundraising efforts of Dry with a Twist. The budget necessary to successfully and fully realize the work is, comparatively, small and with your generous help we will reach our goal in no time and be on our way to creating exciting new works from old friends.

                    Dry with a Twist is seeking to raise a total of $3,450.28 which will cover the cost of production, festival fees, 

printing, administrative fees and supplies and other costs of mounting the production in the festival. Every contribution counts.

 Whether your generous donation is $5 or $500, every drop of water helps fill the bucket. In addition, there are some fun and 

exciting perks available for your kind contribution. Dry with a Twist is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts

 service organization. Contributions for the purposes of Dry with a Twist must be made payable to Fractured Atlas. The value 

of these gifts is listed in each perk. Any contribution above the amounts listed is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

                We understand that not everyone can contribute to our efforts monetarily; there are other ways in which you can get involved though! Attached we also have a list of physical items that Dry with a Twist needs in their upstart and production of Wilde Tales. Perhaps you have some of the items lying around in your attic or cellar collecting dust, as they say “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and could be vital to the furthering of the production and collective as a whole.

                Another easy, and free, way to help us out is if you simply pass along the news of our efforts. If you happen to know someone interested in helping out the arts, let them know about our campaign, tell your friends about the collective, the performance, like the show on Facebook (www.facebook.com/wildetales), follow our blog (wildetale.blogspot.com) or follow us on Twitter. Your support is the greatest donation we can receive to further a collective of emerging artists, some penniless, all passionate, who just want to continue the greatest human tradition-live theatre.

Thank you so much for your reading this letter, I hope to hear from you soon and that you always remain well!

Sincerely,

Kevin P. Joyce
