[NEohioPAL]Something Dada Explains It All To You

[Cabaret Dada]

Something Dada realizes that since we're no longer at our old West 6th Street location, you may have questions about what's going on with us.  Fortunately, someone invented FAQs, giving us a nice, easy way to answer your questions, assuage your concerns, and use the word assuage.

Q: What happened?
A: On January 6th, 2006, the cast of Something Dada showed up at their theater, excited to do another show.  One small problem: the locks on our space had been changed.  Unexpectedly, we were no longer to get into the space we had called home for ten and a half years.  So, after much negotiation, we were finally allowed into the space, retrieved what we could, and moved it to storage.  The stages had been destroyed, the wall of doors was taken, gallows humor was the order of the day, but we got what we could and bid farewell to our West 6th Street theater.

Q: What now?
A: First off, Something Dada is alive and well.  We are currently looking for a space to make our new permanent home, but in the meanwhile we'll be keeping busy.  We are in the process of booking shows around town, and will be sure to let you know about them.  

Q: How am I going to know where Something Dada is performing?
A: We will be sending out regular updates to our e-mail list.  If you're currently not on the Something Dada e-mail list and would like to join, please go to our web site at http://www.cabaretdada.com.

Q: What if I want to hire Something Dada to perform?
A: You're in luck!  Something Dada continues to be available to hire for private functions.  We have references from numerous satisfied clients, for events ranging from corporate training to bachelorette parties.  Email us at somedada at aol.com or call 216.696.HAHA (4242) to discuss.

Q: Where is Something Dada going to end up?
A: That's still up in the air.  We're currently researching spaces to base our new theater.

Q: Are there really unoccupied theaters in Cleveland?
A: Not yet there aren't.  We're going to have to take whatever space we end up in and turn it into our very own theater with lots of blood, sweat, tears, and money.

Q: How can I help?
A: Glad you asked!  Something Dada is going to be putting in a lot of work to transform wherever we end up into a true theater.  As such, we're going to need lots of help.  We're actively seeking donations of any sort of building materials that might be helpful in designing and building our new theater (wood, metal, paint, curtains, you name it).  If you or someone you know would be interested in donating supplies, please contact us at somedada at aol.com or 216.696.HAHA (4242).  Something Dada remains a non-profit organization, so all donations are completely tax deductible.

Q: But I don't have any paint just sitting around waiting to be donated.  What can I do?
A: Don't you worry, you can help as well.  In order to secure a space and build our new theater, we're trying to raise $10,000.

Q: $10,000?!?!  Who do you think I am?
A: We know who you are, and we're not trying to raise it from just you.  We're trying to raise 1,000 $10.00 donations in our "All About the Hamiltons" fund raising drive.  If we can get 1,000 donations of ten dollars each, we will reach our goal and our theater will be that much closer to completion.

Q: What if I want to give more than $10.00?
A: That's great!  You can give as many of the $10 donations yourself as you want!  If we can get 500 people to make two $10 donations, then we're there.  If we can get 100 people to make ten donations we're there.  5 people.well, you get the idea.

Q: So how can I donate?
A: Easily!  Simply go to http://www.paypal.com and send a donation to somedada at aol.com (there's also an easy donation link off our website at http://www.cabaretdada.com).  Alternately, you can send a check to:

Q: So why did you want to use "assuage" so badly?
A: I dunno.  It's a fun word.  Say it.  Use it.  Love it.
