Bad Epitaph's MARDI GRAS AGAIN!: A Personal Appeal from David Hansen

Dear Friend,

Come back, come back to Bad Epitaph.

Yes, it has been a long time since we last sang and danced together, but al=
l
is forgiven and we hope to see you again, and see you soon.  You see, we ar=
e
throwing a very special party in your honor.  It=B9s our way of saying thanks=
,
our way of saying =B3Remember all the good times we had - way back in the
early 21st Century?=B2  We were so young then.  You ... and us.

A week from Saturday, Bad Epitaph is throwing a grand Mardi Gras party - an=
d
it isn=B9t even Mardi Gras, it=B9s the middle of Lent, and that is the kind of
risk we are willing to take.  For you.  We at Bad Epitaph are willing to
risk damnation in order to throw the grandest party you can possibly
imagine.  Were you at the Bad Epitaph CARNIVAL back in 2001?  Did you hear
about it?  It was amazing, a legend.  Not just a great benefit, to raise
money for an excellent theater company (Bad Epitaph Theater Company) but a
great party.  As parties go, it was one of the best.

And MARDI GRAS AGAIN (at Cleveland Public Theatre this Sat., March 22) will
be no exception.  And the tickets cost the same!  Only $25 per person and
$40 per couple.  And do we mind if you and your =B3friend=B2 trying to get in
for the reduced rate aren=B9t romantically linked?  Heck, no.  The more the
merrier.  In fact, bring ALL your friends.  And your enemies.  And our
enemies.  Bring everybody.

Now, we=B9ve heard through the grapevine that you=B9d like to come, but that yo=
u
are waiting until Saturday, March 22 to make up your mind.  Well, we=B9d like
to entice you to get on the phone right now and call us at (216) 556-0919
and let us know in advance if you are joining us.  Just so we know you are
coming.  Or better yet - we now have an ONLINE RESERVATION FORM so you can
pay in advance - and qualify for the $5 Booty Bag, which will be more
expensive at the door.  But the phone call is free.

Okay, okay, you dragged it out of us.  We=B9re sorry.  We=B9re very, very sorry=
.
We do need the money.  It=B9s hard taking a year and a half off, people think
you=B9ve skipped town.  It=B9s hard to get credit.  And we have a stupendous
show planned for this May called STATE OF SIEGE and we need to raise funds,
awareness, and cash.

But this PARTY is going to a major happening, all by itself.  And that is
what is important.  We=B9ve got live and canned music, dancers in cages,
fortune tellers and Nick Koesters.  The silent auction features not just ar=
t
but really good art, and a Cure poster that=B9s apparently worth quite a bit.
Dance, drink, eat, be merry.  With us.  Because Bad Epitaph is back.  And
we=B9re beautiful.

Much love,
David Hansen
Artistic Director, Bad Epitaph Theater Company
