HUGE Theater Fundraising - challenge grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council
Here it is you guys! All formal-like.

Dear Friends:
The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council has issued HUGE Improv Theater a challenge, and there isn't much time. If we raise $4,000 by January 24th, they'll honor our commitment to improvisational theater with a $5,000 grant to create a season of original improvisational theater.
Our plans are big. HUGE is actively working toward establishing a theater space for improvisational theater, and every show we produce increases awareness, raises money, and adds equipment to get us closer to that goal.
HUGE's new production for 2010 is Overheard in Minneapolis, inspired by the website of the same name where users submit conversational snippets overheard throughout Minneapolis which strike the casual observer in a memorable way. The show will consist of these dialogues, randomly chosen to start scenes which will weave together to create a theatrical improvisational show filled with depth and texture, unifying themes and memorable characters. We'll employ staging and lighting technology to create a scripted, rehearsed feel to an unscripted production and showcase the possibilities of unscripted theater.
We need your help. In improvisor dollars, $4,000 is an awful lot of money. Here's just a few examples of where your donation will go for Overheard and the future HUGE Improv Theater
