KICKSTARTER Coming Soon
I have written the book and music for a fun new show about bullying and finding your inner superpower, called “Superheroes: The Musical.” My last musical in 2006 was “Alienated: The Musical.”
Getting the musical to the stage involves 3 phases:
Phase 1) Composition: Reading workshop to revise a rough draft of the book and music.
Phase 2) Production: Create demo song recordings and written instrumental score.
Phase 3) Staging: Promote a live stage show to investors and theaters and cast album.
After the book reading on Nov 12, 2017, revisions should be completed by the end of the year, which means that Phase 2 production can begin in Jan 2018. Unfortunately, I need funds to finish the instrumental score and record the new demo album and written orchestration that will inspire investors and theatrical companies in Phase 3. I recorded my last show “Alienated: The Musical.” using actual musicians; it is now possible to produce realistic orchestral sounds on computer, making it less expensive than hiring musicians again; it is now common for smaller theaters to stage the show using recorded tracks, so I want to provide the tracks making it easy to stage. To record the tracks, I must purchase orchestral samples and a new computer that can handle the large RAM memory requirements of virtual instruments along with a Pro Tools software upgrade, as my old system can’t run it. The computer and software upgrades will cost about $3,000. After workshop revisions, I estimate it will take a year to record the entire 16 song demo album and at least 6 months to hire an orchestrator to help me complete the written instrumental score, which will cost another $2,000. The album will be completed before the score; once completed, we will be ready for Phase 3 and I will find a producer and a separate Kickstarter for the actual stage production and new cast album.
Total funds needed: $5,000.
Why should you help?
This project is very close to my heart as it deals with bullying. When I was in high school, I was chased down a flight of stairs and across a football field by several softball players and always wished I had had superpowers to protect me. Please help me fight bullying and help me put out some amazing music by donating towards the equipment I need to complete the score and record the demo album. A portion of the proceeds of the future premiere of the show will go to the kids charity “Kids In Distress.”
