Urgent Need - Housing for Artists for Attack Theatre production
by Michele de la Reza 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

Dear neighbors. I'm writing today to see if you have any ideas or assistance for a last minute request. *We had a housing arrangement fall through, and I am looking for housing for four incredible professional dancers from Antonio Brown Dance <https://www.antoniobrowndance.com/> from **September 13 - October 3**. *They prefer to stay together or near each other, because they will have one car. The rehearsals and performances are in Attack Theatre's new Lawrenceville space for *Plus One <https://www.attacktheatre.com/plusone>*opening September 24th. *Do you know someone who is out of town for the month and could use some house sitting? * Attack Theatre has a multi-year history with Antonio and the dancers; including a residency and community showing last May. I know them personally, and this is a beautiful group of artists and humans, and they are fully vaccinated. They would each need a bed, but are happy to share rooms. Attack Theatre is a non-profit and can commit $1,500 towards utilities, cleaning and rent. If you or someone you know would be willing to house these artists, please contact me: Michele de la Reza michele(a)attacktheatre.com or 412.956.2505 Thanks so much for your help! Michele
