Fan of Shakespeare Tavern ?
http://www.shakespearetavern.com/donate_TXT.htm
Looks like they’re a little short on funds this year. We’ve written about the Tavern’s style of Shakespeare performance on a number of occasions, and Ann is a regular contributor here at Shakespeare Geek.
So if you like the work they do down there and want to help em out, maybe throw them a few bucks on ye olde paypal link?

I am boggled! Thank you so much for posting this.
Unlike many other theatres, the Tavern has half its income from earned money - in other words, ticket sales (for most others, ticket sales are only about 30%). The Tavern has a strong educational program, offering morning matinees for schools and summer Shakespeare Intensives for Teens; I volunteered for the SIT performance of Macbeth last night which was excellent. Last fall, when the metro Atlanta area was hit by $4/gallon gas, and then severe gas shortages, many schools canceled field trips, which cut income drastically. And, of course, since then, the economy in general has been tight.
I think the Tavern has generally been very good about not asking for emergency money -- this year is the first I can remember in 15 years of association.
Duane, an update. The Artistic Director of the Tavern sent out an email saying they met the goal today, just in time, with $4000 coming in the last two hours. He thanks everyone, of course.
I thank you for mentioning it here!
glad we could help, Ann!
