We would be stupendously grateful for every single solitary donation. Your contributions will allow us to take this show to more places within the Chicago theatre community and beyond. Our brand of comedy and production quality is perfect for festivals across the country and abroad. In order to send Acme Theatrics out into the wild, we need the financial support to rent vans, buy equipment, and pay our talent. We are professionals, and your donations will keep us growing in a professional capacity.
So why does this matter?
Acme Theatrics performs interactive, immersive variety shows, designed to provide entertainment, catharsis, and immediacy. We want to give you art that is in the moment. Why does that matter? Because Art and comedy are awesome! We at Acme Theatrics want to make that positive impact on as many people as possible. We want to give you a unique experience that you will remember for years to come.
What will my donation do?
Contributions to Acme will help us secure: Licensing, marketing materials, wardrobe, performance space rental, rehearsal space rental, traveling fees, submission fees (ya it costs money to see if you can get a chance to make money), money for our film production team (kidding it’s just one dude named Derek. But he’s super nice and I can’t keep paying him in hugs), and money for our performers and talent. It costs money to produce live theater, plain and simple. Your donations go directly to those production costs first, then making sure the creatives involved in the process see some compensation for their time, talent, and hard work.
What do I get out of it?
Acme’s perks are designed to provide ya’ll with a little bit of love and art. We will create personalized shout-outs, musical jingles, sketches and comedic doodles. If we don’t meet our goal we will use the funds to rent the theater space, licensing and any leftovers towards marketing. Every dollar we make will go toward the production, whether we reach the goal or not.
Why should I care?
People say theater is a dying industry. Overall there are fewer patrons going to the theater and buying tickets. We’ve managed to fill theaters by creating something worth seeing. We’re using our diverse theatrical experiences to create a show that is truly unique and brings people out into the world.
Where/when can I see you perform?
Depending on when you see this, we either have a show coming up Feb 16 & 17 at the Playground Theater in Chicago, or you can catch us next at Electric Forest in Michigan.
Is there anything else I can do (other than give you money)?
Acme needs your help not only with donations but with spreading the word. Go to the highest mountain (or wherever you get wifi) and spread the word! Any sharing via social media, email, or even word of mouth helps.
