A fundraising campaign is currently underway to help bring more free Shakespeare shows to the neighborhood. Some of The Merry Wives of Windsor shows this past summer were rained out and end-of-performance red bucket donations were half of what is needed to make next year’s show possible. To support Shakespeare in Clark Park, please visit The Red Bucket Campaign page and submit your donation.
NOTE: The fundraising campaign ends on Sunday, 11:59 p.m.

Our favorite local neighborhood game shop needs help with a great project involving a local artist. Redcap’s Corner (3617 Lancaster Ave.) has started a Kickstarter campaign to fund a mural in one of their roleplaying game rooms. If they can raise enough money local artist Alyssa Deville will paint the mural. Particularly generous supporters will be rewarded by being included in the mural. You could get your name on the mural for $25 or your likeness for $75.
Please follow this link to learn more about the project and to donate.
Update: The project has made its minimum fundraising goal, but there’s still four days left for people to make themselves part of it. “Any money we raise over and above our minimum goes toward paying Alyssa better for her work,” says Benn Roe, one of the shop owners.
Check out the project video below.
