Don Eitel fundraising for Starting Gate Productions, Inc.

In honor of my 35th birthday, I'm asking friends and family to donate $10 to Starting Gate, I company I founded 8 years ago.

  •  

Above is me in the production "Butterflies Are Free" in 2006.

Nine years ago, a friend approached me and asked me to start a theater company with him...I kept saying "no" knowing how much work goes into such a project. After six months I relented and a company was formed. I served as Starting Gate's Artistic Director for five years before going to my current position at Mu Performing Arts. It was a great place of learning and experience for me.

About a month ago, the current Artistic Director announced that, after eight years, Starting Gate would be winding down. He asked that all of the founders help out in one last production to go out with a bang instead of a whimper. All actors, designers, and artists are working on this production for free in order to help wind down the company's debt.

Would you consider making a $10 donation to this organization in honor of the 5+ years that I was involved with it?

    Prelude to a Kiss was a great experience for me. I loved working with everyone involved with Starting Gate and wish you all the best. Happy Birthday, Don! I am sure you will hit the goal and I am so happy to contribute...
