The New Colony on Groupon 7/13

If you live in Chicago or any other city with Groupon, you know how awesome they are.  Well they are even more awesome because they are sponsoring a special fundraiser just for The New Colony!  Holy smokes, that goes out to more than half a million people.  This is BIG!

Basically, they are doing a fundraiserer campaign, through The Point (Groupon’s Daddy company) to help us get to New York for the Fringe Festival.  In return we will be doing a special performance of our show Hears Full of Blood (formerly Calls To Blood) ONLY for people who donate via The Point.  It will be on Sunday August 15 at 3:00pm and todays Groupon Side-Deal, Sweet and Savories, will be providing us with a catered reception!  So you can think of it as less a donation and more like buying a ticket early.  Which is a good idea because there are only 3 performances.

And those of you in NYC, we will be running August 24-29, I hope you will come out.

So if you are in Chicago, please donate and come see the show join us for the reception.  There will also be a show on August 13 and 14, but those won’t have the reception.  And if you are not in Chicago and you work for a theater company, maybe you will donate and then hire us to come do a show there!
