END-OF-THE-YEAR KITNEWS:
An Act of Love for the Italian Theater in NY
| |
Dear KIT Friends,
in a few days 2012 will show up, and I'd like to thank you one more time for your love and support through 2011, and through the previous seasons.
For more than 10 years, KIT has been offering Italian productions, events, and series. Because of that, we have seen our audience growing constantly, the press following more and more and lately, we have been recognized internationally and officially as the Italian Theater in NY.
Therefore we know that we need to keep doing what we do: bring Italian Culture on the US stages.Yet, producing plays and events represents still a big, big, big challenge. While I insist to produce high quality events, too often the budgets are still very small, making very challenging to bring everything we'd like to, to life.
I have been lucky to collaborate with artists who, like me, believe in having an Italian theater in the States, continuously representing our culture and our identity at its best . As of now, in fact, KIT has been constantly an act of love by everyone involved: the artist, the audience and myself. This act of love has brought the many things listed below and will bring more in 2012.
We do need more acts of love, though. In order to keep doing what we do, and you love us doing it. Bringing Master Italian Authors to the States, translating them, introducing them to the American audience, making them part of the multi-ethnic American culture: it's a lot of love and a lot of work.
This is why I ask you to donate to KIT. We strongly believe that the Italian Theater should be an important presence in the New York cultural community, but we need your help to work on that. So DONATE and be partner of KIT in making the Italian Theater in NY a stronger reality!
And while you do so, let me wish you:
Happy New Year & Buon Anno with a lot of
Health, Health, Health mixed with even more Happiness!
Laura
