Creating a Cook Book for Charity - Theatre Artists Give Back!

A message regarding a fun project to raise money for the Richmond Theatre Artists' Fund. ART readers, it is time to dust off your grandmothers unmatchable fruitcake recipe and send it in.

* * * * *
In an effort to raise money for the Richmond Theatre Artists' Fund, we are asking our Richmond theatre family to submit recipes for the very first Richmond Theatre cookbook! These cookbooks will be for sale in the lobbies of most of the professional theatres in Richmond, and all sales proceeds will benefit the Theatre Artists' Fund.

In case you have not heard of the fund, it was started last year with the Broadway Holiday Cabaret and its purpose is to assist with the financial needs of central Virginia's theatre artists (actors, directors, designers, stage managers, administrators, etc.) whenever some health related, personal or family crisis threatens their well-being. What better way to show our love than breaking bread (or baking bread) together?

We are looking for:
*Your favorite tried and true recipes
*Recipes that remind you of shows you've done or seen
*Recipes that a cast party just isn't a cast party without
*Stories or comments that go with these recipes
*Show pictures
*Stories about wonderful or terrible things you've had to eat on stage
*Favorite places to eat after a show


We are also looking for title suggestions for our book! If you have a brilliant idea for a title, bring it on!

We welcome submissions from any category of food and drink, from appetizers to main dishes to cocktails. We encourage you to submit as many recipes as you'd like! Once we've amassed enough material, the job of editing will begin.

We'd love to have enough submissions by September 1 to have the cookbooks available for sale by the holiday season. We are planning to keep the books affordable and easy to buy as gifts (hint, hint!).

Please send your submissions to Erin Thomas. Please include the word "Cookbook" in the
subject line.


We hope you'll join us in what will be a very fun project!

Cheers!
