Keep the Variety Arts Alive
Here at BFC headquarters we're thinking about the summer tour. As we
prepare to bring the Cirkus to your town we focus on the many aspects:
marketing, costumes, finding rehearsal space, technical support,and
equipment. This tour we are facing an even greater burden on a touring
company, the $4 gallon of gas, so we come to you, our fans, friends,
and donors, with an appeal for your support.
Every donation is greatly appreciated, whether it is five dollars or
five thousand dollars. With your help, Circus, Sideshow, Vaudeville
and Burlesque continue to thrive despite the rising costs of
insurance, gas, props, publicity, legal fees, moving costs, storage,
venue rentals...
Donations can be give on-line at http://www.bindlestiff.org or by
sending a check or money order to Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts,
Inc., PO Box 1917, New York, NY 10009. You can also donate online at
http://www.bindlestiff.org/donate.html
Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization devoted to the preservation and evolution of the variety
arts.
