1972 Club Student Opportunities Fund matchfunded £2,000

We are two students from Collingwood College, Alice and Helena. We are both members of Collingwood Woodplayers, and we have the opportunity to take Sarah Cane's 'Crave' to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The play is complex and intriguing, and promises to be an exciting Fringe debut for our cast and crew, which is made up primarily of Collingwood students, with some talented actors from other colleges joining us too! The play stars four characters (A, B, C and M) who have no 'obvious' identity. Sat together by chance, the strangers explore the darkest moments of their pasts with the audience. We need to raise a minimum of £2150 in order to make this project happen, and we need your support!
The two directors, Alice and Helena, both have extensive experience in Durham Student Theatre. In the past, Alice has directed, produced, and acted in various straight plays and musicals with the Woodplayers. Our recent show, 'The Events' by David Greig, was selected for the National Student Drama Festival 2018, where it won the Spotlight Prize.
The production is led primarily by Collingwood students, but some talented performers from other colleges are part of this project too:
Cast and Crew
Co-Directors: Helena Snider and Alice Chambers (Collingwood)
Co-Producers: Catherine Jones and Amanda Cullen (Collingwood)
Cast: Angie (Trevs), Jake (Hafield), Emma (Cuths), and one actor TBC.
Everyone in Collingwood is excited about the upcoming opening of Collingwood's very own donor-funded 200-seater theatre and performing arts space (opening September 2018). The theatre will enable The Woodplayers and other student groups to put on bigger and better shows. As part of this ambition, we are taking Crave to the Fringe this year to build up our experience, and use this as a platform to take a full Collingwood Woodplayers production to the Fringe in 2019.
The opportunity to lead this project was open to directors from Collingwood and we hope it will inspire future Collingwood students and Woodplayers to take a show to The Fringe every year.
We have successfully reserved the Perth Theatre (45 seats) and Space Triplex Studio (63 seats) from 12-25 August 2018 . In order to make this project as successful as possible, we need to raise more funds, and we are reaching out to our networks to help us.
Essential costs to get the show on the road (£2150):
Additional costs (if we reach our dream target):
All proceeds from the sale of tickets to Crave will be returned to Collingwood College, and will be put towards the costs of sending a full Collingwood Woodplayers production to The Fringe next year.
We need your help to make this happen, and we'd love you to support us with a donation.
You can also help us reach our goal by sharing this project with anyone you think would support us – on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, by email, telephone, in a chat over the fence or on your blog. The more people we can share this with, the better!
