We Did It Again With Your Help!

Dear P1V Family, Let me begin by saying "thank you"  for your loving kindness and support of Project1VOICE and our efforts over the last 24 months.  You already know we had a spectacular event on June 18th across the country at all 28 theaters.  With your help, we brought the national community together to celebrate and honor African-American theater and the seminal work of James Baldwin. Together we raised much needed funds and awareness as well as helped to develop audiences all on behalf of African-American theater. In addition, this year we added 10 new theaters and added 5 new cities. We were featured in several national publications-The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Black America Web and BET.com. All 28 theaters saw an increase in attendance at their events on June 18th, doubling and some even tripling their attendance and fundraising efforts. But without a question the piece de resistance was the masterful cadence of James Baldwin's THE AMEN CORNER which paved the way for an evening of incomparable theater excellence across America. We want to continue the trend of growth of P1V ensuring that we attract more people, like yourself, people who care about the arts, in particular the plight of African-American theater and its playwrights---preserving their legacy and tradition across America. This is where you come in. Help us find men and women like yourself, who share our mutual love and appreciation of the arts, people with passionate interests, people who want to make a difference and create change.  You know the people who will be the best fit for our organization. You’ve told them about us, now tell us about them! Take just a minute to share your P1V experience with a friend, on our facebook page and/or our website www.project1voice.org.  You can blog about us, share the PIV website with a friend and/or contact me directly Erich@project1voice.org, leave their information and yours. We want to hear from you. This is your chance to give people you know the opportunity to experience and support the transformative theatrical experience that only African-American theaters can provide. Adding more great people like yourself to our roster of supporters will not only increase our national awareness but it also brings in additional funds and partnerships we can use to build upon P1V's commitment to next step strategies to maintain and foster theater excellence. We’re already shaping our new series of events for 2013. You'll hear more from us in the coming weeks about being part of the P1V team. I thank you again for caring so deeply about P1V's future.
