Dear Friend:

Lunch will be served in one week.

As a friend of Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions we want to first and foremost invite you to experience Lunch, a musical about love in the eighth grade. Lunch will be performed at Pepco's Edison Art Gallery from July 21-25 as part of the first annual Capital Fringe Festival. Written by Shawn Northrip and directed by *City Mouse* the brains behind Titus, the Musical and Cautionary Tales for Adults, Lunch follows members of Benjamin Franklin Middle School's eighth grade class from a lunch period a week before school lets out through to the super-climactic and very-dramatic eighth grade dinner dance.

Please show your support for the show by encouraging all of your friends to attend (and their friends, and their friends' friends).

But there's more.

You can further show your support by making a donation to the fledgling company that is producing Lunch, Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions.

Bouncing Ball (founded by Northrip and *City Mouse* along with Business Manager Caehlin Bell) emerged in the spring of 2006 with the mission of providing the Washington, DC area with new music theater experiences by producing innovative works that challenge genre expectations while showcasing a new generation of music theater artists.

With that, we are introducing the Lunch Money Campaign:

Chocolate Milk ($5-39) - You get: Your name in the program!

Twinkies ($40-74) - You get: Your name in the Program and One Comp Ticket!

Tater Tots ($75-99) - You get: Your name in the Program, Two Comp Tickets, and an Autographed Lunch CD!

Chicken Nuggets ($100-$499) - You get: Your name in the program, Four Comp Tickets, and an Autographed Lunch CD

Sloppy Joes ($500 and over) - You get: Your name in the program, Four Comp Tickets, an Autographed Lunch CD, and a Walk-On Cameo in the Show!

Comp tickets are valid for any performance of Lunch. Comp space per performance is limited and will be made available on a first come, first serve basis.
