Kickstarting The Land

We really need to move this thing now - it's sitting below a thousand dollars and I wonder why people are not copping to the timeliness of this piece? I'm startled that more (Jews especially) people have not come forward at this time. I see others generating enormous support for light entertainment - but The Land is seemingly untouchable. Why? Is the subject matter, the graphic violence (a fact of life on a daily basis in the Occupied Territories) the anguish of women attempting to lead normal lives in the midst of such insanity - is it just too much for the average, sheltered American ? We must become responsible for our collective actions if we are to grow and evolve as human beings. In order to heal ancient wounds, we must first look at them and acknowledge the scars we all bear! In writing this play, I dug deeply into my own collective and personal pain, in order to give authenticity to the characters I had created. Now as I revise The Land, I discover more dark corners, even I was afraid to explore the first time around. This play is my prayer for peace and reconciliation between a people long separated by conquest and time. There are those who believe the solution to the violence in the region, is a "divorce" between Israel and Palestine. I believe rather, in a "marriage", and this is what The Land is about! Please log onto Kickstarter and pledge! Every bit helps! If 350 people put in $10.00 a piece over the next month, The Land will be funded and back on its feet! Let's do it!
