What is GYNX?

GYNX (pronounced "jinx") is a full-length play written by award-winning writer Alicen Grey, set to premiere at Thespis Theatre Festival in August 2017!

Show dates:

MONDAY August 21st, 6:15pm
FRIDAY August 25th, 9:00pm
SUNDAY August 27th, 3:30pm

@ Hudson Guild Theatre in NYC

Here's the plot:

A homeless teen lesbian, a prostituted girl, an underground abortionist, and a former child porn victim are recruited into a rapist castration plot by a mysterious woman named Gynx. Men go into hiding, women take over the streets, and their operation makes global headlines.

But when Gynx’s true motives are revealed, the group is forced to question whether they are truly on the side of justice.

Here's why you'll love it:

  • GYNX passes every feminist media test out there
  • GYNX raises awareness about feminist issues such as LGBT homelessness, human trafficking, child pornography, reproductive autonomy... and, of course, rape culture
  • GYNX is written, directed and performed by women. (Considering the fact that theater has a history of excluding women from productions, this is kind of a big deal.)
  • It's about castrating rapists. (Come on, who doesn't want to see that?)
  • It's entertaining as f*ck

This is your chance to support a female playwright, her woman-powered production team, feminist theater, and independent art, all in one shot.

 

Why We Need You

If you've never been involved in a theatrical production, you may not understand why we're asking for thousands of dollars. So to give you an idea, here's just a light sampling of the resources we need to put this show together:

  • Thespis Festival participation fee
  • director fee
  • actors (of course)
  • a lighting designer
  • a sound designer
  • a cue board operator
  • a stage manager
  • a set designer
  • props
  • set-building materials
  • a costume designer
  • costumes
  • audition space
  • rehearsal space
  • promotional material
  • security fees
  • a photographer
  • a videographer
  • IndieGoGo platform fees
  • printing costs for perks...

You get the idea.

 

"How can I help?"

Glad you asked!

Theatrical productions are incredibly resource-intensive, and every little bit counts. So whether you can donate $1, $100 or $1,000, we'll be profoundly grateful either way! 

***NOTE: Thespis Theater Festival does not allow us to comp tickets for people. Meaning, we can't include tickets in the perks [sad face]. So please be mindful: regardless of what you donate to this fund, you must buy your live show tickets separately. You can purchase your tickets HERE.

Donating money not your thing? That's cool. You can still help us out by buying props for us! Check out our Amazon Wishlist!

Also, share this IndieGoGo campaign with your friends and family!!!

 

This show can't happen without your help.

From the bottom of our hearts,
thank you so much.

- Alicen & GYNX team
