Fertile Ground Festival is a great way for new plays to be seen, and for lots of people to see different plays -- all from April 12 through April 21, 2024.
Extraordinary People in a nutshell:
Four sets of conjoined twins in one place? Improbable. The survival rate is low, even today. But these people met forty years ago in Kansas City, Missouri and formed a conscious-raising group. Today they reunite for the funeral for one set of twins (Mona and Mame). Kate is now separated and estranged from her sister Karen. Hope and Faith are separated, and Faith is now Frank. Linda and Lulu remain joined because they are too poor to afford even the co-pay for the separation surgery.
Together this unlikely group helps each other once again as they explore more levels of self-identity, connection, and the power of love.
Six of the best actors in Portland portray these people in a dramedy for our times.
I'm crowdfunding because it takes money to bring a play to the stage. Tickets are $10 or Donate What you Will. Even if we fill two houses at full price, we'll fall short of the budget.
You are the people who are my co-creators in this project. If you're in the area, I hope you'll come see the play. If not, I hope you will help support it.
