Deciding what to do with your tax return?

I have a worthy cause :) TBA Theatre just recently found out that TWO of the plays they submitted to the XXXII Annual Samuel French, Inc. Off-Off Broadway Original Short Play Festival have been accepted! How amazing is that? The play festival has been going on for over 30 years, and many of the playwright participants in the past have gone on to become award-winning. So it's a great opportunity! TBA will be bringing two short plays to the festival in New York City.

But here's the thing: TBA Theatre is not a big organization. They are doing well, but this is an unexpected opportunity that has surfaced, and it will cost the company a pretty penny to bring the productions to New York.

So that's where the title of this blog comes into play. Everyone in the United States just passed the tax deadline - and maybe some people are getting a bit of a refund :) And since many of you just got done doing your taxes, maybe you know that donations to non-profit companies are tax deductible :) So if anyone would like to deduct a donation to a charitable organization on next year's taxes, here is a worthy opportunity!

I, personally, am getting a tax return from the state of Minnesota, because they give people who rent a certain amount of what they paid in rent back as a return. Since this was totally unexpected money to me, I'm now pledging it towards TBA! I'll let them know the specific amount, but I think that they will agree, that no matter what the amount, every little bit can help! If you are interested in making a donation, you can contact them directly - just go to the TBA Theatre website for contact information. Another possible way to help could be to donate some of those airline miles you have accrued... just a thought :)

Congratulations TBA Theatre! This is such a wonderful opportunity!
