THANKS FOR A GREAT SEASON!
Manbites Dog's 2009-2010 Season is almost over, and we'd like to thank all of you whose support helped make it possible. Individual donations help pay for a big hunk of our annual budget.

Our end-of-season fundraising campaign started in June. Our goal is $10,000 -- enough to pay our ongoing bills through the summer and to prepare for the start of our next season.

To date, we have already received over $5,000 in early donations, putting us more than halfway to our target. And because of the early response, we did not have to send out a fundraising mailing, saving us the costs of printing and postage. That means that all donations directly support Manbites Dog.

If you have not yet made your tax-deductible donation, please consider sending it in now, and help us raise our final $5,000 before the end of July.
 

SIZE DOESN'T MATTER
We know what you're saying -- your budget is stretched thin, and everyone is asking for support. And we don't want to add to your stress by asking for more than you can afford.

So here's the deal:

PLEASE SEND US $10.

That's right -- we are asking for a small expression of support that just about everybody can afford. And that's the point: we want ALL OF YOU to take part. $10 isn't much -- it's barely enough to buy lunch for two at a fast food restaurant. But with everyone participating, it adds up in a big way -- allowing us to pay the bills, keep our building open and running, and producing the kind of innovative and exciting theater you expect from us.

(Question from the back? You would like to donate MORE than $10 and want to know if that's allowed? Of course! Send what you can afford -- if it's more than $10, that's great; if not, that's great too.)
 

OUR PLAYS ARE ABOUT YOU
Manbites Dog Theater is more than the plays that we present and the very talented artists who create them. It's also the people who make Manbites Dog a part of their lives. We're amazingly fortunate to be able to share out work with a great bunch of loyal supporters. Your enthusiasm for the shows we present is what makes it fun for us. Nothing beats the audience's excited buzz and thoughtful comments in our lobby after a performance.

Thank you in advance for your continued support. Watch for our 2010-2011 Season announcement in late July. Have a great summer, and we hope to see you soon at Manbites Dog.
