PRESS RELEASE, "Nunc Licet"

8/30/11 UPDATE:

• We will begin working on Nunc Licet again soon, with the anticipation that we will do another reading in Pendelton Hall sometime in the fall after The Autumn Leaves Performance Festival in Tamanend Park is over.  If you worked on the reading before and want to do so again, please let me know.  If you have read the script (which is posted on this web site) and would like to be included, please let me know.  We do intend to proceed as best as we can with the goal of a full production.  All the  information posted on this blog still applies, just change the dates.

PRESS RELEASE;

Subject: Nunc Licet: a stage play about Emanuel Swedenborg

All are invited, participants or observers, to attend the "Official Workshop" to develop and prepare a script-in-hand reading of

"Nunc Licet" at the 2011 World Assembly of the New Church  (link)

It will begin on this Wednesday, May 25th and take place from 7:00 to 9:00 PM on the campus of Bryn Athyn College in Pendleton Hall.  Entrance to Pendleton Hall can be gained from the North Parking Lot behind the Brickman Centre.

A sponsorship program has been developed for those who would like to help financially, as we try to bring this play up to a full production at MPAC (and ultimately a feature film version) and there is advertising available in the program that will be handed out at the Assembly.

We will be videotaping the Workshop and reading, for which we need two camera operators and other technicians.

Stop by the Workshop to gain the necessary details or check the web site www.imagemindag.blogspot.com.

A very special thank you to those who have already been helping. Your participation is more valuable than you can imagine. AG

Please feel free to forward this notice as you see fit.

"Nunc Licet" Sponsorship program

I am looking for folks who want to contribute to the cost of presenting "Nunc Licet" at the Assembly.

Funding is being sought to assist in: * the publication of 120 copies of the script  *costs of renting the performance space  *supplies required to make the presentation  *costs involved in advancing the production  *operating expenses incurred during the scriptwriting & production management time-frame.

I need to raise a few thousand dollars for this purpose. I don't have the specific budget, simply because whatever I can muster will be a great help and ultimately a full production of this show will be many thousands of dollars anyway.

There will be a program booklet with advertising and various degrees of sponsorship.  Publication will be done in-house.

Advertising and sponsorship will be published in all editions of the Playbill for each presentation of the play produced by Image of the Mind Studios and productions by other companies will be required to make reference in their playbills to those who have helped make this possible.

For this presentation at the Assembly we will be publishing 100 copies of the playbill.  If the show moves up to the next level (meaning a production at MPAC) then advertisers will be included in that playbill as well.

If you'd like to be a sponsor or purchase advertising in the program booklet, talk to me directly, send me an email (imagemindag@verizon.net)  or call me if you have my number.

I have the sponsorship program designed and the details available in hard copy, which I can provide to you, but I need to convert that layout for presentation here on the web.  It is much the same as the program for The Shakespearean Journal and the Cinema Under the Stars program, so you might review those web pages.

It would be a help if you purchased a copy of the script in advance (to be picked up at the reading).

If you care to donate via PayPaL please do so here;

If you do make a contribution in any amount, send me an email to confirm that you have done so and assure that I list you as a sponsor.  I thank you in advance for you help to making this happen.

Look for me to post the Playbill advertising specifications here within a few days, if possible. AG
