TL/DR
My name is Andrew Mauney and I am raising $2000 to produce my new play, "Will I Be Missed" as part of New York Theater Festival's November 2024 show.
- "WIBM" is a 20 minute short play about a girl who asks the ultimate question, "Will I be missed when I'm gone?". It challenges the audience to explore perspective and encourages the audience to express their gratitude while they can... you never know who needs to hear it.
- The New York Theater Festival runs in mid August - "WIBM" has three performances: 11/14 @9p; 11/16 @12p; 11/17 @830p at Teatro Latea (107 Suffolk St., NYC)
- The $2000 will go towards actor payment, rehearsal rental space, and other miscellaneous costs associated with putting on a show in NYC.
Thank you so much for all your support and donations. No donation is too small! Even just sharing the link means so much to me! Thanks!
What We Need & What You Get
Here's a more in depth breakdown of where the money is going:
- Actor payment: $1100
- Stage Manager: $300
- Festival Fee: $135
- Rehearsal Space: $300
- Equity Insurance: ~$100 (*if I cast AEA actors)
- Misc (programs, IndieGoGo fee, props, etc...): $300-500
As you can see, $2000 won't even cover my anticipated expenses... but I hate asking people for money, so I'll just cover the rest! I appreciate you all!
