Hello Friends,

We at Mack Flash Entertainment are interested in all things artistic. One of these things is musical theatre.

We are looking at putting on a play, but, admittedly, we know very little about the entire process, short of throwing people on a stage with a story to tell.

The way I see it, we'll need sets, lighting, music(ians), actors, props, costumes, and a bunch of other things I'm not even thinking about because you can't think of what you don't know.

Allow me to go on a tangent here...

A lot of art doesn't happen because people think they can't do it. "I can't make a movie, I don't have the equipment" or "I can't put on a play, I'm not a director." And so, multitudes of projects sit on multitudes of shelves accumulating, well, not multitudes, but lots of dust.

But what is a play, really? As kids, didn't we put on shows for our parents with nothing but the ideas in our heads and the hairbrush from the bathroom? I remember throwing an air band together with my sister, and while she played the drums with pencils on a stack of books, I sang along to Phil Collins using... whatever object in my proximity that looked like a microphone.

I'm not saying "hey, let's all get on stage with crappy props and no script." What I am saying is "hey, if you have a day job, and you feel the need to be creative in your spare time, and you'd be interested in helping out, why don't we all work together?"

Understandably, there will be money involved in the process, but who's to say we can't raise it on our own? The true spirit of independent artists can live among us.

In other words, if you are interested in helping out, either materially, monetarily, physically, or as a resource of any kind, please drop us a line.

Remember: anything is possible.

Fränck.
