Just in case the email doesn’t come to you for some reason, the basic info is below. Feel free to edit as you see fit. Â (Though the official email is much prettier, should come in an hour or so!)

Thank you for all your help, you guys have been amazing!

Pop-Up Repair and theatre artists

Set designer Sandra Goldmark is starting up a new sustainability project with her husband, Michael Banta, a production manager and technical director, along with several theatre colleagues. TheyÂ are opening a 4 week Pop-Up Repair shop in northern Manhattan, this June.Â The shop is a challenge to the cycle of use-and-discard consumer goods, and will be staffed by theatre artists. This experimental project is asking the question:Â can we as theatre artists create social change, not only with the theatre that we make, but with the way we make theatre – by hand.

They are running an indiegogo campaign to get it started (not unlike the one we’ve shown you in Los Angeles). You can back their work Â here:
