Friends! Friends of friends! Friends of friends of friends! How are you? Good? Awesome. Well the fact that you've landed on this page means that you may have heard down the grape vine that we are putting on a play - YAY! Sam Shepard wrote it, Rodney Fisher is directing it and with those two at the reins something tells me we could be in for a bit of a wild night at the theatre... that is... if we can get enough funding to get us there.
Before we can bring this to you we need your support to get behind the project. Crowd funding continues to allow independent artist to bring new and exciting work to the Sydney arts scene. We have had a tremendous amount of support already and we are extremely grateful for all of those who have helped out. We are coming to the pointy end of the project and our bare bones budget needs support.
This is where you lovely people come in. On the right of this page there are a number of smashing rewards - alls you gotta do is choose which suits you, click on it, donate, and BOOM you've rocked our world. It's that easy! So to all of you, we are forever grateful for the continuing support for this project and excited to have you all involved. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you at the theatre! You stay classy San Diego.
Much love,
Jake and Ben.

About The Show
The God Of Hell
Sam Shepard’s funny, frightening and relevant comedy is a scathing indictment of the invasion of old-time America by a cruel new world. The quiet life on a Wisconsin dairy farm is disrupted by the unexpected visit of a scientist on the run from a mysterious secret project; and by the intrusion of a government bureaucrat whose aggressive patriotism becomes a form of torture.
The farmer’s wife (Vanessa Downing) poignantly asks - "Our government. What does that even mean anymore?" Shepard may not give us the answer, but he certainly reminds us that it’s an important question to ask! As Australians, this question is now more than ever truly relevant!
