The Dancing Curtain, LLC, a comedy business based in Ridgefield, CT, is pleased to announce that their idea has been selected to be in the running for a Pepsi Refresh Grant.  Pepsi is giving away thousands of dollars to the public in the form of Pepsi Refresh grants. Individuals, not-for-profit organizations, and for profit businesses are welcome to apply for grants from $5,000 to $50,000.  Every month from May through the end of the year the public is encouraged to vote for their favorite idea to refresh the community.  Each cycle Pepsi accepts an unlimited number of applicants but selects only 1,500 ideas to go into the running each cycle. 

The Dancing Curtain’s idea is to spread laughter to thousands of people in California through a month of free comedic plays.  This idea would allow at least 2,000, possibly 4,000 people the opportunity to see free live theater, a comedic one woman show.  California has the highest unemployment rate of any state in the U.S. and is near bankruptcy.  The grant would give Californians a needed boost.

Khristee Rich, President of The Dancing Curtain, is currently writing the show and will also perform in the production.  If the show earns positive reviews, it will go on tour.

If you are interested in voting for this idea to support The Dancing Curtain and to spread laughter to thousands of people through a month of free comedic plays, please visit www.refresheverything.com/spreadlaughterinsanfrancisco  Voting begins May 1 and ends May 31.  Everyone may vote once daily throughout the month of May.  To learn more about The Dancing Curtain please visit www.thedancingcurtain.com or Like The Dancing Curtain on Facebook.
