Livestream ended by Endo. Pun unintended.

With apologies, the Write-a-thon livestream will have to be cut short.

Another play by Heather talked out her diagnosis of endometriosis …which is making itself known today.

Thanks to everyone who joined the stream, donated, and spread the word.

LIVE NOW, until 6 pm tonight!

We are at Hour 17 of the 24-Hour Write-a-Thon in support of our next short film!

The plan now: writer Heather has a FINISHED FIRST DRAFT of a full-length play, thanks to viewers’ prompts and donations.

Next – she’ll spend the rest of the time revising the play, FINISH it, and submit to the Alberta Playwriting Competition by 6 pm tonight!

Do visit the livestream to cheer her on, and donate if you can.

Chocolate now, FREE screening soon

TWO THINGS about our Easter chocolate fundraiser:

1. The website to order chocolate is very confusing. Some supporters have said that the amount of information required makes it look like THEY’RE setting up a campaign! The site asks for addresses and such in case WE need to deliver to YOU on April 7, and it asks you to create a password in case you want to come back and order more. If you’re still not sure about buying off the Purdy’s website, we have an alternative event coming up.

2. Take a Bite’s short film Nowhere Normal isn’t available to the general public yet, because it’s still on the festival circuit.

However, any supporters of our first fundraiser will receive an invitation to our upcoming virtual screening…for FREE.

So click here to get your Easter shopping done, and get VIP access to Nowhere Normal early!
