FPP in the Community

Forbidden Planet Productions believes that being active in the GW and Foggy Bottom communities is just as important as our productions. We feel that being a student orginization gives us a unique opportunity to use our resources and talents to benifit campus and community causes.  FPP regularly participates in several community events:

• In fall 2007, FPP organized a team to participate in AIDS Walk Washington, an annual walk-a-thon benefiting Whitman-Walker Clinic. This year's AIDS Walk raised more money than ever before, and FPP was proud to be a part of the effort to fight AIDS in Washington D.C.

• FPP participated for the fifth time this fall in the Foggy Bottom Block Party, which is held annually by the University's Office of Foggy Bottom Affairs and the FRIENDS community group. The event welcomes students and area residents to promote town-gown relations and local businessess and originizations. FPP showcased our talented cast of HAIR, who had a featured performance spot in the afternoon, and sang "Manchester, England" "Good Morning Starshine," and "Air."

• This spring, FPP will perform Tony Kushner's Angels in America in four nights, with parts one and two each being performed twice. In doing so, we plan to raise AIDS awareness not only with the show's message, but also by donating proceeds from each performance to the Whitman-Walker Clinic.
