Dear Friends and Supporters of Bare Boned Theatre,

Bare Boned Theatre -- known for its weekly gay-and-lesbian theatrical soap opera THE VILLE,
now in its third hit season at Andersonville's Mary's Attic -- is mounting its first mainstage
production, THE HECUBAE, at the Raven Theatre, August 6-30, 2009. Our ambitious,
original theatrical work based on Euripides' Hecuba (set in a present-day refugee camp and
featuring a diverse, all-female cast) is a natural evolution of Bare Boned Theatre's mission "to
bring the outsider in."

It is also a huge leap forward in terms of the technical scope of Bare Boned Theatre's work,
and we hope you well help us stretch to meet the artistic challenges we have before us.
GREAT NEWS: A HUGE OPPORTUNITY! Two strong supporters of Bare Boned Theatre have stepped forward with a pledge to
match every dollar we raise between now and July 13, up to $2,500! If we meet the $2,500 mark by July 13, we will literally
double that amount, to $5,000-which will support the technical elements of our first mainstage show.

We hope this exciting challenge will inspire you to act now and make a donation--click the button to make a gift.

If you have already made a donation, we thank you and pledge to use your support wisely. And if you have made a donation
and are in a position to increase that prior gift, your additional dollars will count towards the match!

For not only are we at Bare Boned Theatre dedicated to work that represents those outside the "norm" of society, we are also
deeply committed to keeping ticket prices affordable for as broad a cross-section of people as possible. But this means that
contributions must make up the difference--so we hope you will help!

If you would like a taste of the company's work, please click here. And if you have any questions about your gift, which is fully
tax-deductible, don't hesitate to contact Co-Artistic Director Jeff Bouthiette at jbouthiette@barebonedtheatre.org.

Please make a gift today and help our emerging arts organization continue its growth and its efforts to create thought-provoking,
challenging, truly diverse work.

Thanks for your consideration--and, we hope, your support towards this huge opportunity!

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Bouthiette & Rebekah Walendzak
