and KIT wants to thank you...
|
Dear Friends,
In this season of Thank You I want to thank you all for following what KIT has been doing for 14 years now. Only in this past year we:
- Created two new production (Decameron and The Cloven Viscount)
- Presented old and new productions in New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Rochester, San Francisco
- Co-produced two theatrical events in Italy
- Doubled the days and the companies participating at In Scena! 2014
As you can see below, we are already working on the season 2015-2016. There is so much to do, we are thrilled to get requests from educators, theaters, communities and to be commissioned to do new work.
Yet, we do need a lot of support to do everything and to do it well.
This is why my thank you is a thank you for what you have done and for what you will be able to do to support us. In 2015, beside Boccaccio and Machiavelli, we'll present a work on Pasolini, the third edition of In Scena!, one or two works by new upcoming Italian playwrights, new collaborations between KIT and Italian theater companies in Italy and we'll tour with our new and old productions.
Just to give you an example, your support will contribute to:
- Create a new website for Kairos Italy Theater (with a big section on education)
- Hire a part-time worker for our outreach effort
- Improve the costumes for Decameron and Mandrake Root
- Have a consultant to better work on grants and corporate giving (in order to be able to produce all the beautiful plays we'd like to produce)
- Raise the money needed to present the third edition of In Scena! in May 2015.
You can help, even if with little. In the upcoming months KIT is going to have fundraising events, in the meantime, if you'd like to make a tax-exempt donation, follow this link and then the instructions.
And now... HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL and for the ones in Italy: Grazie anche a voi per essere sempre presenti, anche da oltreoceano.

From Boccaccio to Shakespeare

The YoungKIT

 December 8, 2014 - 6:30PM Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimo' at NYU (24 W 12 street)
Following the productions of The Mandrake Root by Machiavelli and of the three novels that were the base for Machiavelli's work from the Decameron by Boccaccio, KIT is now exploring Shakespeare work to discover how much the great playwright has been influenced by Italian theater and literature as well as what differences there are in the work of these three giants.

Rocco Sisto
|
Led by Three Time Obie Award actor Rocco Sisto, KIT is working on scenes from Measure from Measure while learning about the relationship between Shakespeare and Italy. KIT will share the result of the workshop presenting scenes from Measure for Measure together with scenes from Mandrake Root and Decameron and an introduction on Shakespeare's Italy by Rocco Sisto.
