LAST direct "ASK" to contribute to the list for 2022
by Fred Sternfeld 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Dear Subscribers, We hope you are doing well and that live performance opportunities are starting to open up once again for you, or your organization. The last two years have been tough on everybody. As you might be aware, every year we normally do a one month campaign asking for contributions in support of Neohiopal. Last year we decided not to do a formalized campaign at all since so many people and organizations were so adversely impacted economically. Even with no campaign for funds, some of you generously contributed anyway. Those people (and also from 2020, and supporters who have donated thus far in 2022) who contributed and chose to have their name or organization listed are at this link <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/northeast-ohio-performing-arts-list-…> . With this last direct email "ask," our one month campaign for contributions to support Neohiopal is now finished. If it is within your means, or your organization's budget to contribute, your support is greatly appreciated. If a modest donation is not in your budget currently, information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the footer of each message. NEohioPAL is now in its 24th year of providing people like you a valuable tool that draws together Northeast Ohio's arts community. Your donation keeps this unique performing arts resource alive and free to all readers and posters. NEohioPAL supporters are performers, artists and arts lovers who recognize the value of staying in touch with our region's arts scene. They are also people who realize that we have some very real expenses: web hosting, bandwidth, utilities, supplies and our time keeping the site free of SPAM and running smoothly. If you have ever learned of an audition, found a job, promoted your event or had a great night out at a performance, please consider supporting our efforts through a donation. To donate, please go to http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/. At that site you will find many ways to volunteer your financial support: Paypal, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Zelle or by check. Here are suggestions to help you decide what to donate: 3 cents per day = $10 per year 14 cents per day = $50 per year 20 cents per day = $75 per year *27 cents per day = $100 per year* *50 cents per day = $182.50 per year* *1 dollar per day = $365 per year* *Also, if it is easier on your budget to donate smaller amounts monthly, that is very easy to set up on Paypal.* Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene in Northeast Ohio vibrant and collaborative. Warm Regards, Fred Sternfeld <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…> NEohioPAL founder and administrator Noah Budin <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…>, Daniel Alpern NEohioPAL associate administrators Conrad Yoder Webmaster http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/ -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.

Black writers needed for Melanated Mondays
by Meredith King 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

*Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop* is looking for work from Black writers to be performed at our monthly virtual event, *Melanated Mondays*. *What is Melanated Mondays? **A Black-ass good time. * Okay, but seriously this time: Each month, Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop curates a selection of new works by the hottest up-and-coming Black writers around a new theme. On the 3rd Monday of each month, BRTW’s ensemble brings these pieces to life and facilitates a community conversation about the underlying societal issues highlighted in the pieces and potential solutions to those challenges. We partner with organizers, educators, and organizations to share key avenues of civic engagement we all can undertake to make our communities more just and equitable. *The Details* - Submissions should be no more than 20 minutes in length. We are open to promoting longer works from time to time, but it is the exception not the rule. - The work must be by a Black writer/ Black writing team - The work explicitly impacts Black people - The work deals with an aspect of social justice - The work fits within that month’s theme or genre. (Themes can found here: https://www.blackrevolutionarytheatreworkshop.org/melanated-mondays ) - Writers whose work is shared will be paid a $25 honorarium While Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop is predominately dedicated to theatre, we also accept poetry, short story, and screenplay submissions. Submissions do not have to be a completely polished work, but should be ready to be shared with an audience. *Submit Your Work* Writers can submit their work here: https://airtable.com/shr9KOsK68EZX9K8E Questions? Contact meredith(a)thebrtw.org
