Vicious Circles, winner of the MainLine Theatre Next Stage award for “Best Local English Production” at the 2012 Montreal Fringe festival, and remounted to rave reviews as a MainLine Theatre co-production in 2013, is now embarking on its VICIOUSTRALIA tour of West Australia in 2014!!!
Originally produced by Montreal theatre company Stadium Tour, the VICIOUSTRALIA tour will be co-produced with Australian production company Weeping Spoon Productions, run by Shane Adamczak.
The tour will begin in Perth, at Blue Room Theatre's PICA Performance Space, as part of the Fringe World festival, on February 10th to 15th 2014.This will be followed by a run of several weeks in February-March 2014 at Tuxedo Cat as part of the Adelaide Fringe.
With bookings completed and lodging arrangements already taken care of, we now need to raise money to send the the cast and crew to Oz! Plane tickets range from $2000 to $2500 each, which will cost a total of between $8000 and $10000 - and that's not counting the cost of FEEDING them once they get there, and the various props and settings that we need to purchase for the show...
Being an underfunded, non-profit organization, and with no thanks to the Harper government's elimination of nearly every available grant for the arts, Stadium Tour simply cannot afford the cost of these plane tickets.
That's where you come in, dear patrons of the arts. The actors and director are trying to save up as much as they can to help pay their way - but with fairly low wages and non-salaried work, it is not enough.
THE FUNDS
The money raised will go to reduce the cost of each ticket - if we make our minimum, it will cut the costs roughly in half, and if we can double our minimum then we can send everyone there, and any extra above that will go towards food for the actors and materials for the show.
