Rogue Shakespeare to Donate 100% of Friday Night's MACDEATH! Ticket Sales to Support Victims of Pulse Shooting
Award-winning British poet and playwright, Ryan J-W Smith ("The Bard Mark Two!" - BBC), artistic director of Rogue Shakespeare®, has announced that 100% of the box office of this Friday's performance of his highly acclaimed new verse comedy, MacDeth!, will be donated to Support Victims of Pulse Shooting.
"Every available ticket has been made 'Pay What You Can' - with a suggested donation of $100.", says Smith. "I do not want to politicize what we are doing - we just want to do something to help the victims of this horrific attack. Let's sell-out Friday night, please give what you can to support those in need, and hopefully this will encourage other shows to do the same. We all live in luxury here, we can all afford to donate a little cash - and at least one night's work."
Smith won the coveted International Award and an Encore! Producers' Award at last year's Hollywood Fringe Festival with his verse comedy, Love Labours Won. MacDeth!, one of Time Out's 'Shows To See', is currently running in the Ruby Theatre on Hollywood Theatre Row as part of the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Friday's performance is at 10pm. Tickets can be booked directly via this link.
