Short Summary
My name is Alexandra Shields and I am the producer of this project. My partner and director, Gus Schlanbusch, and I are looking to launch one of our theatrical passion projects, The Aliens. Here's an explanation from Gus as to why he was drawn to this particular play.
The Aliens is, at its core, a play about missed connections, missed opportunities, and miscommunications. All of its characters are desperately seeking connections, comradeship and purpose. All of them want the others to be successful, and wish to help, but - just like in real life - figuring out what someone else wants or needs sometimes proves to be really hard.
The Aliens crystallizes this desire to fill a role, live up to an expectation, and care for one's fellows, and distills it out into a beautiful examination of yearning, loss, desire and need.
It's also funny.
What We Need & What You Get
Alexandra here again! Putting on a production is no easy feat. First and foremost, we are looking to pay our actors and designers for the work they contribute to the show, so our first priority is making sure that a large percentage of our budget goes to them. Secondly, we need lighting equipment, sound equipment, props, set pieces, posters, and programs. Your contributions would go to making sure that we are able to purchase the best quality equipment for our budget. Currently, we are looking to raise $5,000 dollars. No donation is too small. Thank you!
