We are Samurai Outreach Show

We Are Samurai Outreach Show

On October 2nd, Marrow’s Edge was honored and thrilled to welcome The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School for an outreach show of We Are Samurai. For an action-packed hour, the 7th and 8th Graders from Mr. Corey Emerson’s Drama Club raced from space to space, meditated with Elias, mourned with Josephine, and plotted with Rocky and Regan. Their visit was part of The Equity Project’s extended day program, where all students select a teacher-led activity from 3:00-4:00 pm. Along with their after-school learning, field trips are an essential part of their growth and enrichment. 

Marrow’s Edge was very excited to welcome these 15 promising young women to the space to see the show and have a quick talk-back  discussion both pre and post show. Their energy, spirit, and enthusiasm was unparlleled and it was a great honor to offer our work to them. Of Elias, one student, Yuberly said, “I felt really connected to the super spiritual character. I felt like I could understand her.” The TEP student’s visit energized our team and helped us all remember what joy and exuberance can be found while seeing theater.

We are Samurai Opens Today!

And we couldn’t be more excited. 

Get your ticket today! Shows are selling out fast. For real. 

Please note, if a show is sold out, we cannot guarantee admission if you show up sans ticket! Even if we really really like you. And this breaks our heart, but we want to make sure there’s enough space for everyone to enjoy the show. Without a ticket at a sold out show, we’ll put your name on the waiting list and if there unclaimed tickets, YES! But if not, we’ll all be SUPER SAD.  We want you to see the show and we want you to be happy- so buy your tickets in advance! 

Just do it. It takes a minute! And then you’re in. And we’re all happy.

The work has begun.

We’re aiming to raise $5,000 dollars by September 19th to cover the costs of space rental, sound and lighting equipment rental, materials for costumes, set, props, publicity, and to offer our artists a small honorarium. If you can support this project by donating $25 or $50 dollars, we’d be very grateful. Every contribution helps us get a little closer to bringing this play to life.  

We’re fundraising with USA Projects, an all or nothing platform, which means meaning that we either raise all of it or receive none of it! All donations are completely tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.  

Please click the link above to chip in. We thank you for your support.
