MURDER! CANNIBALISM! KIDS!

Shakespeare's bloodiest play performed by a cast of middle schoolers under the direction of a teacher losing his mind...what could go wrong?

Shakespeare in Vegas? Yes! If you're a Shakespeare fan at all, please consider helping this orphaned production. When the critically-acclaimed Insurgo Theatre Movement unfortunately closed their doors last month, Table 8 Productions gave their currently rehearsing show HAMLET a home. They need to raise $1,800 for the physical production (costumes, sets). The show has a very contemporary look and feel, while retaining the Elizabethan language, with the focus placed on the dysfunctional family dynamics. Local composer Sandy Stein is contributing the score (a piece of which can be found on the link below). If you can give $10, $25, or anything you can afford, you'll have helped add to the cultural patchwork of Vegas's growing theater scene. Thank you!

Hey ChattShakes fans (old and new!) I'm currently writing new musical I've written with composer Angela Chan (www.angelachanmusic.com) - Summer Camp! The Musical. It's an homage to the 1980s Teen S*x Comedies like Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds. We're mounting the premiere in August and are in the middle of a fundraising campaign to get the $5,000 we need for the initial production. If you loved the funky fun we produced with ChattShakes, please consider sending a few bucks through the site below. There's schwag to be had and we'll be eternally grateful!
