Hey, Loyal View-ers!
I know, you haven’t
heard from me since December! And I’ve got three months of stuff to catch you
up on! The plan was to update you all this weekend as I lead up to my new
Indiegogo Campaign going live this Monday!
And then, today, I
hit “LAUNCH” when I meant to hit “PUBLISH” and all of a sudden my big campaign
is LIVE and OUT THERE!
Word has it that how
these campaigns go in the first 24 hours impacts the “Bandwagon Effect,” which
means that, if people see that other folks are “jumping on,” then they know
that they’re contributing to a campaign that lots of people belive in, and
which will probably make a difference in the world!
If not… not.
But let me catch you
up just a little bit!
You may recall that
last summer I performed SHAKESPEARE’S HISTORIES; TEN EPIC PLAYS AT A BREAKNECK
PACE at the American Association of Community Theatre International Festival in Venice, Florida, where
the adjudicator from Denmark suggested that I should really do a one-man "Hamlet!"
Well, since then I’ve
been like a house on fire, memorizing BREAKNECK HAMLET! It’s all up there in my
brain somewhere, and I’ll probably be doing three Fringe Festivals with it this
summer, but with all of the changes in plans, there’s costumes, art, photos,
travel, entry fees to consider. Thus, the big fundraiser!

I’ve got all kinds of
cool swag! Much available for the first time on-line: stickers, t-shirts,
coffee mugs, the Karaoke Knights CD, a yet-to-be created Hamlet Soliloquy
Collection on DVD! And much more all the way up to a full performance in your
living room!
Your support in
getting this show to living rooms, Fringe Festivals, and beyond this summer
would help me create an event that would make a huge difference in how we look
at the greatest play of all time!
I’m so excited to see
things coming together: David Jensen, the amazing artist from “Moliere than
Thou” is back with a new image for Breakneck Hamlet!

Hamlet”!

And in just the six
hours since this went live, people have already been amazingly generous! We’ve almost
paid for the costume already! And once we do… In fact with every goal this
fundraiser passes, I have pledged to post a video of yet another Hamlet
soliloquy!
So, hey! Take a run
over to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/breakneck-hamlet/x/187391
and toss a couple bucks toward the cause! Or… almost as important: SHARE news
of this with your own individual networks! Your reach exceeds my grasp! Not
only does this increase the financial possibilities of this new Hamlet, but it
builds a growing network of folks interested in the project, who might come out
to see it when I show up in your town, or in your living room!
Thanks! A new blog
coming your way soon!
Love,
Tim
