Let's help Robert McNamara take his powerful, one-man play, "Report to an Academy" to high-profile Fringe Festivals in Europe. He has a great opportunity to perform this play about animal abuse in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and the Ukraine Fringe Festival in Kiev this August & September. But, he needs help now to fund his airfare, lodging, insurance, registration fees, meals and more. Please donate whatever you can to help Robert sustain this passion project. Last year, he toured this poignant play to London, Finland, and Kenya garnering impressive reviews—yet the expenses were exorbitant.

"Report..." is based on the famous short story by Germany's Franz Kafka. Robert's late wife, Gabriele Jakobi, also from Germany, adapted Kafka's story for his company, Scena Theatre, and directed Robert to rave reviews in DC, Prague and Berlin. Gabriele's vision for this show and it's potential to touch people was tremendous. Together, we can help Robert keep her heartfelt work alive and compel people to think deeply about free will and animal rights.
