ABOUT THE PLAY:

Two huge movie studios. Two of Americas brightest stars. One big secret. What they
had to do to keep 'Hollywood Confidential' in 1936. 

The Max Factor Factor. Who knew the celluloid closet could become this
crowded?

Written by Adrian Bewley (Book), Joe Blodgett (Music), and Chana Wise (Lyrics). 

 

"The Max Factor Factor" was developed by the New Musicals Initiative for Celebration Theatre over the past couple of seasons and now that Celebration has moved out of its theatre, we're stepping in to produce this wonderful new musical this summer at the NoHo Arts Center in North Hollywood, CA.  We've raised ALMOST the entire budget and are hoping to raise $5,000 through Indiegogo....plus, any money we raise through Indiegogo above $5,000, we'll split 50/50 with Celebration Theatre!


PRODUCTION DATES:

July 26th- August 31st. 2014

@ The Noho Arts Center

North Hollywood, California


WHAT IS NMI?

For those of you who don't know us, here's a brief background.  New Musicals Inc. is based in Los Angeles.  We develop musicals for producers all across the nation, and occasionally we get a chance to be producers ourselves.  In 2010 we produced 40 is the New 15, and in 2012 we produced A Ring in Brooklyn: a frickin' musical.  Now in 2014 we're producing the premiere of The Max Factor Factor


CREATIVE TEAM:

Ovation award-winning Michael Shepperd is onboard to direct, and we've hired a fantastic team of designers and musical arrangers. Producers Scott Guy and Elise Dewsberry are at the helm. The book is by Adrian Bewley, with music by Joe Blodgett and lyrics by Chana Wise.      

                   


WHAT IS MY DONATION GOING TOWARDS?

Producing great theatre is expensive! We have already raised a large sum of money, but we need a final $5,000 to make our production dreams a reality!

Your generous contributions will go towards:


* Set, sound, lighting, and costume design 
* Union fees for our Actors and Director
* Marketing and Design
* Theatre rental at The Noho Arts Center
* Rehearsal space
* Props
* Musicians and Music Director

You will be helping fund the premiere production of this wonderful new musical!  PLUS, any funds above $5,000 we raise through Indiegogo, we'll split 50/50 with the Celebration Theatre. 

                            

WHY THIS MUSICAL?

We love this musical.  It's fun, tuneful, fast-paced (VERY fast-paced in spots!), and it has a warm message of hope handed down to us from silenced movie actors in the 1930's. They would be very happy to see this musical, and we know you will too.

We've workshopped this musical from its very earliest days, when it was only an idea in the minds of the producers at the Celebration Theatre, through the enthusiastic and thorough first draft, to the heart-stopping, spontaneous performance during Stages Musical Theatre Festival in 2013, to its current state of musical theatre perfection. The Max Factor Factor is a loving testament to the American Musical artform, and perfect fare for a midsummer evening in Los Angeles.

The Max Factor Factor will be the third full production for the New Musicals Inc.  We know how to make every donation dollar count and our association with the Celebration community promises to make The Max Factor Factor a successful and rewarding experience onstage and off!


WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN

To the right you can see the collection of our various perks and offerings. Your donations through Indiegogo are tax deductible.  (NOTE:  Donations will appear on your credit card as "The Academy for New Musical Theatre," which is the non-profit 501(c)3 parent organization of New Musicals Inc.)


HOW ELSE CAN I HELP?

We understand that financial times are tough and not everyone can afford to make a huge contribution. Please know that every little bit counts and gets us closer to our goal. And, there are always additional ways to help out and get involved! Please share this campaign on your Facebook page or email to a few of your friends. We appreciate your support in any way that you are able to give.

We know it's easy to read this and think "Oh, yes, I want to help, I'll totally come back to this page and donate later, when I have more time..." But, this campaign is running for a very short period of time. If you'd really like to help make The Max Factor Factor a reality, please consider becoming an all-star donor NOW!

Thank you in advance for your contribution,

Scott Guy & Elise Dewsberry, Producers

The Max Factor Factor
