Attention UNIVERSE!!!!

A play that I, Juli Crockett, wrote and directed called "The Dawn of Quixote: Chapter the First" has been invited into the OFFICIAL program of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland!

The play features Shaughn Buchholz (Scrubs) as Quixote, Christopher Goodson (Cold Case) as Sancho, and opera singer Lisa Dee (Killsonic, Evangenitals) as Dulcinea. Live original score is performed by The Evangenitals!!!

Two solid weeks of daytime shows, from August 8th-22nd, are already booked and listed in the official festival program, and the Evangenitals are already booked for night-time gigs & radio spots in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and other locales in the UK ... now we simply need to GET to SCOTLAND!

YOU CAN HELP!!! We've started a fundraising campaign over on Kickstarter.com (powered by Amazon) where you can pledge to support us in our QUIXOTIC QUEST! Check out our video infomercial, amazing prizes, and more information about the cast and show here:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/635470598/dawn-of-quixote-rides-to-edinburgh-fringe-fest

While our TOTAL fundraising goal is over $40,000, the focus of the Kickstarter Fundraising Drive is to raise funds for the transportation of our cast, the band, scenery/costumes, and instruments. Other expenses include, room and board while in Edinburgh, construction of scenery, props, and costumes, and covering the basic needs of 9 brave souls willing to take 3 weeks out of their lives to make ART in EDINBURGH! !

WE WILL ONLY receive these donations on Kickstarter IF we hit our $9999 minimum goal... and we only have 48 days in which to do it.... so please help us get there!

"Dawn of Quixote: Chapter the First" has been invited to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! 2 solid weeks of shows, running from August 8th - August 22nd, are ALREADY BOOKED and listed in the OFFICIAL festival program... now we simply need to GET THE SHOW to SCOTLAND!

Donate now to help us take our show on the road to Europe's biggest art's festival!! Every bit helps!!!

Written and directed by Juli Crockett and starring Shaughn Buchholz (Scrubs!) as Quixote, Christopher Goodson (Cold Case!) as Sancho, and Lisa Dee (Evangenitals, Killsonic) as Dulcinea, The Dawn of Quixote: Chapter The First is a philosophical and musical exploration of the first chapter of Cervantes' Don Quixote.

Our show is being produced in part by California Institute of the Arts. They will be helping with the venue, lights, and promotion in Edinburgh. WE need to raise funds for plane & train tickets for the cast and band, room and board while in Edinburgh, construction and transport of scenery, props, and costumes, and covering the basic expenses of 9 brave souls willing to take 3 weeks out of their lives to make ART in EDINBURGH!

Please help us make it happen! Every little bit helps!

I'm going to try to keep this simple, as there's no way for me to keep it very short cuz this is likely one of the BUSIEST weeks in Evangenitals history! We hope you can share some of it with us. :-)

This is a blast from the past that was brought to mind while strolling along a surprisingly peaceful and lovely chunk of the LA River today...

Back when I was writing The Dawn of Quixote: Chapter The First and reading lots of Unamuno's Our Lord Don Quixote, I had a sort of Code of Ethics written on my wall which I am reprinting here for your possible enjoyment and edification. If you go so far as to take the word into action, all the better!

The Code:

1. Set Loose a Delirium
2. Commit an Outrage (a Barbarity)
3. Let Your Horse Lead You
4. Fight (Adventures which Befall)
5. Find the Selpulchre (Search)
6. Love (Chaste, from Afar)
7. Assuage Self-Loathing with Self-Annihilation
8. Endure the Inevitable
9. Judge Not (Lest Ye Be Judged)
10. Explore all Caves (Caverns, Crevices)
11. Attack all Puppet Shows
12. Speak Fair to All Goat herders
13. Commend Thy Self to Thy Love and Thy Lord
14. State Your Full Name and Purpose
15. Have Faith
16. Trust Not Thine Eyes, Nor Ears, Nor Tastes
17. Treat All Ladies as Maidens
18. Fear Not
19. Read Until Mad (Delirium)
20. Believe in Fairy Tales, Myths, and All Dieties.
21. Do Not Debate (Debacle) Do not Reason with the Reasoners
22. Face Ridicule
23. ________________________
