3 // THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and GET SOME FACE TIME

  • We are looking for a new venue for our C:10.5 production this Fall. Let us know if you have any leads on theaters or other non-traditional spaces that could be used. The C:10 Production Team (Ava, Brian H., David J., Sayra and Robert) will have information about which spaces have already been contacted, and can follow up with any new leads. Email thecollective9@gmail.com.
  • Ensemble Member Michael Abbott Jr. has found an opportunity we could apply for in the near future. A project can be submitted to be considered for viewing this summer in the Amphitheater on the water in Williamsburg. It is a not a money-making venture, but would be a lot of exposure. If anyone has any ideas/proposals for what we could perform there, hop to it and send them to thecollective9@gmail.com. Deadline for proposals: May 30th.
  • The Collective Membership Committee weekly meeting is Mondays from 6-7pm, prior to the Monday session, in the Collective office. The doors are always open for any Member to participate.
