Artists inventing stuff!

Hey everyone, Our friends in the Rude Mechs (many Winedale alums!), are making this new app and funding it through Kickstarter. It's called Cyrano Plays and they are trying to reach $20K in the next two weeks. This is them being cutting-edge, innovative, and trying to survive this nasty pandemic -- which prevents the thing we enjoy the most: live theater with our friends. The app will let users download a play and then invite friends and family over to perform it with them for free. They're almost done with their alpha phase right now and the more they can raise, the better the app will be for beta release - hoping for December 4th - and full launch on December 18th - right in time for the holidays. Over the past year they've been playing with the idea in pre-alpha with Jim Greer, a founder of Kongregate, throwing parties with people to see how it could work best. Since September they've been working with programmers and designers in Austin to build it out. Their debut play on the app is called A Karaoke Christmas Carol. They've been testing it out and they swear it's a blast! When it's all ready to go you'd just download the app, open up the play, and choose your role. Then pop in your earbuds, press play, and professional actors whisper in your ear so you become the star of the show. Say what you hear, do what you’re told and get a unique, hilarious, memorable evening. Here's the kickstarter link with their video, which I think is pretty fun, and all the info. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rudemechs/a-karaoke-christmas-carol Please spread the word, and give them your cold hard cash if you can. Thanks, friends! David / Zig
