What is this?
After successful streamed performances on the virtual platforms at The Tank, Orlando Fringe, and Rogue Theater Festival, it’s time to bring Tight (Haha Nice) to live audiences. Tight is the theatre world's first major dark romantic comedy about vaginismus, and one of the most unexpectedly necessary tales for the stage in this generation of New York City performing arts.
1/3 ultimate millennial romcom, 1/3 kegel jokes, 1/3 surprisingly important update on what isn’t covered in sex education, Tight is at once hilariously relatable and deeply affecting. We'd like to show you what it can do in person this Spring 2023.
Synopsis
Brooke has just been given a diagnosis she views as dooming her to a lifetime of painful sex. She’s determined to overcome it, using awkward conversations, dating apps, sex toys, friends with benefits, and an obscene amount of that free lube from Planned Parenthood. It may hurt her every step of the way, but hey! At least she’s getting laid, right?
Why We're Fundraising
It's no secret that the bigger the show, the bigger the budget, especially in New York. So where exactly are we planning to put all this money?
-
Building one hell of a marketing team! The more people see our show, the more we can talk about the disorder at the center of the plot, which will both improve sex for couples everywhere and make those who suffer from it feel a lot less alone
-
Securing an amazing venue! A show about intimacy needs a venue that supports it. We know how meaningful this show is, and let's be real -- we want it to look good, too!
-
Paying a respectable, substantial fee to everyone involved -- cast, creatives, crew, you name it, we'll pay 'em. Independent shows often work on a system based on the "labor of love." Don't get us wrong, we love our labor, but we all have rent to pay!
What You Get
Every donation, big and small, has an impact. After all, it's not the size of your donation, it's what we do with it (see what we did there?) Anyway, here's what's in it for you:
- Depending on how much you donate, you could earn crazy cool physical prizes, delivered in-person, in your D.M.s, or to your doorstep!
- You also get the pleasure of knowing you're helping develop the next generation of feminist theatre, sex education, and romantic comedy, all with one donation to one show!
