A Queen & her Fool in a deadly dance: the commedia dell’arte of L’Imbecile. Moe sadly didn’t make it to the end of show thanks to Kathrynne Wolf’s Fool 'help'. We’re 1/2 through Dec, but not yet 1/2 to our goal.

Please consider making a donation today!

It’s the start of our Annual Appeal, and this year we wanted to do something different. Pictured here is Maureen (Moe) Yasko, a long-time BWBTC member. We’ve recently realized that in almost every show that Moe has been featured in, her characters don’t…well…make it to the end of the play. Now Moe is an appreciated artistic affiliate, and we don’t actually want her character to [skull emoji] in every show. So this year, we’re asking you to donate to keep Moe fighting! (And help BWBTC.) Our goal is $5,000. Will you consider a gift to Babes with Blades Theatre Company? Please click the link in the bio to donate.
