In Short:

  • One Thousand Words is an original book musical written by Michael Braud (LSU, class of 2014) and composed by Curran Latas (LSU, class of 2017). 
  • Spanning the 1930's, 1940's and 1990's, One Thousand Words follows Warren and Daniel, two young men from the mining town of Winslow, as they try to navigate love and acceptance in times of conflict and intolerance.  

Your Help Matters:

  • This indiegogo page has been created to help give One Thousand Words the premiere production it deserves.  
  • Our $8,000 goal is in place to help us pay for our production space (The newly renovated Second Stage at Theatre Baton Rouge) and for our beautiful costumes and world-class sets.  

The Impact

  • By supporting One Thousand Words, you are helping to bring a completely original musical to our community.  This will be the first show of its kind since 2013, when our librettist, Michael Braud, presented his earlier work, The Seven, at Theatre Baton Rouge.  
  • In addition, with your help, we hope that One Thousand Words will encourage and inspire a community-wide discussion on the struggles and issues facing the gay community, both in the early 20th century and today.  

    Other Ways You Can Help

    If you aren't able to financially contribute, here are some other ways that you can make our dream a reality!  

    • Send out this link to all of your friends and family! Whether you use facebook, twitter, instagram, email or carrier pigeon, send this link to your friends and family and let them know how excited you are for the project! Ask them to help us out if they are able! Every little bit counts!
    • Donate Materials: Have some extra fabric lying around?  Have some antiques or 1930's and 1940's costumes that you'd be willing to let us borrow?  Have an old door that you're looking to get rid of?  We'll take them off your hands!  Just shoot us an email (1000words@gmail.com), and let us know what you have and when we can pick it up! Also, if you aren't sure what we're looking for, email us and we will send you an up-to-date list of what sorts of materials we currently need!
    • Donate your Time: Handy with a sewing machine or power tools?  We will need some extra hands to help us construct our set and costumes, as well as hands to help us load-in and load-out of the theatre! Email us at 1000words@gmail.com if you're interested!  (Also, we will be offering service hours to any local students who help us out!)
