Life With Althaar followers!

Hiya! Hope to have more audio and other updates for you before Season 2 begins on July 17 of this year, as well as the other planned series from Gemini CollisionWorks (FINALLY!), The Chickie West Enigmas - 12 fifteen-minute-long episodes detailing the misadventures of the eponymous 1930s dame reporter in a metaphysical landscape that defies her hard-bitten, tough-talking ways of investigation.

But first, we now have GCW and Life With Althaar merch available at our TeePublic storefront HERE.

Apparel, mugs, stickers, magnets, pillows, phone cases... all at popular prices!

And featuring the beloved Life With Althaar Season 1 logo by award-winning comic artist/writer Dean Haspiel!

Especially for the next two days, when everything is between 20%-35% OFF!

1/3rd of all proceeds go to making Life With Althaar and GCW's other art-stuff; 2/3rds go to the 21 GCW company members behind Life With Althaar, all of whom are volunteering their hard work for nothing until any funds come in the door.

So if you like the designs, and the show, help us out with a purchase or two.

Thanks so much for your attention; it's a pleasure working for you, best,

IWH/GCW

A Word from Gemini CollisonWorks on #GivingTuesday

December 3, 2019

Hello, Visitors to The Fairgrounds!

Today is #GivingTuesday.

Many of our Life With Althaar listeners probably know little to nothing about the 23-year-old theater company that creates it, Gemini CollisionWorks.

While GCW is sometimes lax about asking for donations (in these times, even the company's managers tend to aim their personal charitable funds to political rather than artistic ends), and is mildly suspicious of Hashtag Event Days, we are under the umbrella of Fractured Atlas, and donations to our company are tax-deductible and fairly easy to do. And we could use it.

We are currently in the midst of finishing Season One of Life With Althaar, and expect to do at least two more seasons. We love creating this show, but it costs us more than anticipated, and that's without ANYONE on the show being paid for their work, and the work is not inconsiderable.

We also haven't created a new work for the stage since 2017, but hope to change that with a new NYC production in 2020, HAUNT; Or: Haunt Point, a road movie across the USA for the stage, in the manner of The Cinema of Pointless Escape 1967-1975. This will complete GCW's Medium Trilogy of plays, following CANT (on Theatre, 2016) and ReFUSE (on Television, 2017).

We could use donations to help defray the costs of creating these works, and maybe even upgrading some of the equipment we create Althaar on. However, it should be noted that about a third of any and all funds that come in go to the Company for this work -- the other two-thirds go directly to the artists and craftspeople who have been creating it. We hope this makes you more willing to donate rather than less.

To donate, there is an easy, and VERY LARGE, link on this page of our website, where you can also discover a bit about our company's history and see the names and some of the faces of the people who will benefit from your generosity:
