I have a few letters from in town, but along with additional letters from the Austin community I would love to have a representative group of letters from the on-line community to speak to Cambiare’s efforts to reach out to theatremakers nationwide, even internationally.

Cambiare strives to create high quality theatre on a tight budget, whether it be devised or published, classic or modern, all while taking part in the vibrant conversation occurring via theatre blogs and Twitter. We want to be an active laboratory for the ideas that percolate through that conversation, whether it’s new ways of devising theatre, or new ways of involving our audiences.

If that’s something that you support, please consider writing a few paragraphs about your experience with Cambiare Productions, on-line or off, and why you support our efforts. Just drop them into an e-mail to info@cambiareproductions.com by Monday, April 26th – please include where you’re from.

There are so many fun things in the pipeline. I can’t wait to share them with you.

Travis

(Whole Foods)
An original song and dance sequence grows out of the prepared foods section of a grocery store when certain shoppers are overwhelmed by their first date nerves. “Meet You at Whole Foods” is a glimpse into the frantic mind of singles hoping to please and the eavesdroppers who dance about it.

(Cap Metro 20 Bus Stop at Manor Rd and Airport Blvd)
A man gets on a bus and attempts to persuade a seated passenger that they are in his reserved seat. The explanation gets weirder and weirder and finally the seated passenger gives in. A woman gets on the bus, approaches the same seat and the cycle continues.

4:00 PM
(Auditorium Shores)
A couple is getting married in the park. There are signs inviting passersby to join the wedding as guests. As the ceremony begins, it becomes clear that one of the couple desperately wants to get married while the other is obviously reluctant. The two of them begin a discussion informed by the opinions of various cast and audience members. In the course of the discussion, the two convince each other, switching positions on the issue. The resolution will depend on the audience, which will vote on whether the wedding should continue, cuing one of two script endings.
