GIRL IN TAN BOOTS
‘Tan Boots: To the girl in tan boots who always gets on at St Leonards, you are my angel of the morning. My daily fix of heaven. Man in Grey Suit.’
Hannah is 32, single and slightly overweight. Hannah has eczema and lives alone with a cat named Cupid. Hannah reads the love messages in the commuter magazine religiously, hoping one day, one day, there will be one just for her.
But when Hannah goes missing while waiting for a mystery man at a Sydney train station, her friends and family are left to question whether their actions played a part. Meanwhile, the investigating detective is discovering just how easy it is to disappear when no one is looking for you.
"Girl in Tan Boots" is a delicate and funny play about love, loneliness and the struggle to stay visible in a big, busy city.

WHY WE NEED CASH:
While being included in the 2013 Griffin Independent season is an extraordinary opportunity, the support we get from the company is in kind, which leaves us with the task of covering:
* Artists Fees
* Set & Costumes
* Rehearsal venue Hire
* Marketing
* Insurance
* Lighting and Sound Equipment Hire
* Transport costs
The money that is raised through this campaign will help us to cover some of these costs and therefore increase the amount we can pay the professional artists involved.
