Tuff Times for Performers in st augustine
Donation protected
I am a self employed entertainer. I use my Talents as a Magician, Public speaker, love of Pirate History and Pirate Persona as the tools to do Events, Schools, Festivals and Museum Tours in Educational aspects. I am Booked OR Contracted, NOT an EMPLOYEE to any one, I am self employed. I am Capt William Mayhem of the St Augustine Swashbucklers and Mayhem Productions.
I have also used my talents, my shows, my connections and my opportunities to create charity driven events over the last 13 years to help MANY in bad situations: from hurricane relief to Holiday toy drives. NOW I am put in a position to ask for help for myself and this ain't easy. I hope to survive this, so that I can go back to doing what I love most: educate thru my talents and charity drives to help those MORE in need.
As the Current World Crisis evolved over the past 6 days, messages, phone calls and emails began to pour in and in a matter of 6 days every booking on my calendar into the summer has vanished. With the closures of schools, bars, restaurants, festivals and any gathering of people, the possibilities of any kind of work has become COMPLETELY NON-EXISTENT.
I am NOT THE ONLY ONE, there are other tour guides and performers in the Oldest City in the Nation (ST Augustine FL). I have many Friends, Peers, Fellow Performers and Tour guides here with me that are in the same CRISIS: ZERO possibility of any kind of work for the next 6-10 weeks.
I Know that the Current World Crisis is going to effect Many Performers and Entertainers across the United States. I also know that in order to survive this crisis, we must all work together. I Can't Help Everyone BUT setting this up is a way for to ask for help not just for myself but for some of my friends here in st Augustine that I hope to share this with. As I have said "We Must all Work Together".
