REPOST – Verdigris – A Play by Jim Beaver

Standard

verdigris

As part of my salute to fandom week, I’m switching up Thursday’s Weekly Recommendation to post today. I am so excited to be able to promote this (and I’ll be reposting it a couple of more times this week and next until they reach their goal.)

This is a kickstarter to raise the funds needed for Verdigris to be performed March 13 though April 19, 2015 at Theatre West in Los Angeles, CA.

Verdigris was written by Jim Beaver and previously performed by Theatre West in 1985 with Maureen Stapleton in the leading role. It was the winner of the Los Angeles Dramalogue Critics Award for Playwriting and a finalist for Actors Theatre of Louisville Great American Play Contest.

Jim is well known from his roles in Deadwood and Supernatural. He is also a film historian and his memoir, Life’s That Way about his wife, Cecily’s cancer diagnosis and their daughter’s autism diagnosis shows the heartbreak and the faith and love that this man has for his family. He’s a good soul who’s all heart. (Full disclosure if it wasn’t apparent: I’m a fan.)

Theatre West – for information and to support their other projects

To support Verdigris through their Kickstarter (there are only 16 days to go, and the minimum pledge is $1 – let’s help them out!)

I wanted to promote a friend of mine. I’ve known her for over twenty years (I hadn’t realized until I did the math).
Her name is Michelle and seven years ago she was diagnosed and received treatment for a brain tumor. She goes for her check up in a few weeks and after that, she and her husband are sailing around the world, and inviting us to vicariously be a part of this.

I love this idea! I can’t wait to follow them along on their journey. For me, I am not a fan of the water or boats, so this will definitely be vicariously.

I’m including links to the website, the Facebook page and the Kickstarter if any of you are able to donate monetary funds.

I will probably add a couple of more posts when I have more time, but I really wanted to get the word out.

In addition to their story, preparation and Michelle’s health, their sites include many helpful tips and organizational ideas and information about traveling, which I’m finding both useful and fascinating.

Visit West by Sea and enjoy the trip.

Bon Voyage!
