MAGIC? SUMMARY

MAGIC? is an all rhyming underscored play where politics and magic collide. In a world where people rely on potions and flying brooms, chaos ensues when magicians begin losing their powers. To keep the peace and their jobs, the government blames the crisis on two traveling street performers. Facing arrest, the street performers must decide whether to flee as fugitives or expose the government’s crookedness.

This play explores how a thirst for power leads to a lack of transparency and accountability in government. We draw a parallel to the political obfuscation of the recent November election. This show deals with some of the darkest problems we face today in a wholesome, family-friendly style.

What We Need

We are confident that our show has potential to be successful in an Off-Broadway venue. We plan to accomplish this by producing a small production of MAGIC? around November to be used as a showcase for the Off-Broadway industry, giving us material to pitch to producers and investors.

This next step cannot take place without assistance. We need family and friends to help us fund this developmental production. We’ve therefore launched a fundraiser campaign where contributions go directly to the funding of our November production. We’re also hosting a gala for those who donate $50 (tickets need to be purchased separately). Consider donating to this cause – an investment both in the creators and their ideas.

Our small production's expenses:

• Theater space. $2,500

• Administrative costs. $200

• Cast and crew wages $1,200

• Printed marketing. $350
