The Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade Presents its Sixth Annual Production TWELFTH NIGHT
The Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade (FGC), a Washington, DC based theatre company, is bringing back free outdoor theatre to the city for its sixth year.
This summer we will be mounting our production of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," with performances running for three weekends on June 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, and 23, 2018, nightly at 8 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown (1041 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20007). Audience members will be able to lay out blankets, pack a picnic and enjoy a free performance out under the stars. In case of inclement weather, the show will be performed indoors in the church Sanctuary. Doors will open at 7 p.m. for picnicking and relaxing pre-performance. We will have some yummy treats and fun FGC swag available for sale on site. For additional information, please visit our website: www.fgcitizens.org.
FGC is the resident theater company of the Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown and a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non?profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Outdoor Summer Shakespeare must be made payable to "Fractured Atlas" and are tax?deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donations are accepted here: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/the-fat-and-greasy-citizens-brigade/campaigns/1977
The company's mission is to provide accessible theater to all, and we do so by providing free outdoor productions each summer. DC has so many great free outdoor summer activities like outdoor movies and Jazz in the Sculpture Garden; we are bringing free outdoor theatre to the city.
The Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade founders, Heather Cipu (Artistic Director) and Alexis Truitt (Managing Director) have both been working in the DC theatre community for many years. They have done everything from acting, to producing, directing, costumes, props, lights, and sound. Starting a company together has been a dream of theirs for a while and they are both extremely excited to have that dream become a reality.
