Dear Friends, Family & Supporters of Floor Five Theatre Co.,

It's hard to believe it but it's true - last night with 4 days still left in our campaign, we reached our goal of raising $20k to take zounds! to the Edinburgh Fringe!!! Thank you to each and every single one of you for donating your hard-earned money & cheering us on as we got closer and closer to the finish line and then ran right past it! That’s right, we’ve raised $20,676 and counting!!! 

We love you, we appreciate you and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. This production is happening because you believed in us and that's worth more than all the money in the world!

Now here’s some more good news! Because we have 3 days left in our campaign, we’re still able to accept donations up until May 30th. So if you know anyone who wanted to show their support, please tell them they still can! 

Any money we raise from this point on will be evenly split amongst all cast & creative team. This will help offset our team’s costs of traveling to Edinburgh, which as you can imagine, are a lot. We have 21 people going to the Fringe and we estimate our costs to be a minimum of $2k per person. That’s $42k total. Now, we’re not expecting miracles (though this campaign is proof that they do happen!) but we would love to be able to reduce the burden on our team, even by just a couple hundred dollars. Please help us continue spreading the word! 

With immense love and gratitude,
Floor Five Theatre Co.

P.S. Remember to follow us on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter to keep up with our updates on the road to Edinburgh Fringe!

Hi!

Thank you for visiting our page. We are so grateful for your time and attention!

We are Floor Five Theatre Company and we need your help to take our show zounds!  to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!


WHO WE ARE

Floor Five Theatre is a company of 25 international artists based in New York City. We formed out of Atlantic Theater Company’s conservatory program.

Our mission statement:
This company invests in process, developing work through shared language and continual training. We draw from our eclectic group of artists to create original work but nothing is off limits - our interests are as boundless as our imagination. Floor Five is a group of international artists committed to defying ego and narcissistic indifference.

Our company members have participated in Fringe festivals around the world, but this will be our first time in Edinburgh!


WHAT THIS IS

“13 gods, Helen of Troy, one Greek chorus. Trojan War. Year 9. Mount Olympus. Send help.”

zounds!  is a new play by Veronika Gribanova. It’s a comedy about the Greek gods during the Trojan War, set in the present. In the ninth year of the war, Aphrodite is injured in battle, and Zeus declares that the gods may no longer participate in the war… If the Greeks and Trojans think the war is hard, it's because they haven't been locked in with their whole family on Mount Olympus! (Thanks, Zeus). zounds!  is a tale of politics, love, and literal sacrifices. A tale of the gods.

Floor Five Theatre Company premiered zounds!  in December 2018 at Atlantic Stage 2, in association with Atlantic Acting School. Now we’re heading to the Edinburgh Fringe. "What’s that?" you might ask.

The Edinburgh Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world! It is also the largest and the first Fringe festival. Last year, the festival spanned 25 days and featured more than 55,000 performances of 3,548 different shows in 317 venues. It was established in 1947 and takes place annually in Edinburgh, Scotland in the month of August. This year the Fringe runs August 2 - 26. Show categories include theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions, and events.

We’ve been selected to perform August 2-10 at theSpaceUK, one of the top venues at this year’s festival, and we need your help to make it happen!
