Short Summary
Hello. My name is Haydn Hollis, and I am an emerging actor and writer in New York. I recently graduated from the studio acting program at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) and I am now working to bring my brand-new original play “Roommates” to the stage!
“Roommates” is an original, knee-slapping, drink-spitting comedic production that follows the story of two roommates who are as opposite as can be, falling in love with the same girl. The roommates hilariously and strategically try to win over the heart of the girl by any means necessary while she is put in the difficult position to decide between the two. This production involves comedy, drama, stage combat and huge twists!
I love to entertain and make people laugh. Help me give audiences a night to remember with the gift of life’s best medicine: Laughter.
Your donation moves this project, and my dreams forward. Thank you.
What We Need & What You Get
I am asking for $5,000 all together to pay for costuming, props, rehearsal studio cost, production stage cost, food and drinks for the cast and crew, theatre festival fees, etc. All of the money made in this fundraiser will strictly go toward the production!
There are many perks to donating to this cause!
- If you donate $5 or more, your name will be in the special thanks section of our show program
- If you donate $100 or more, you will receive a "Roommates" poster signed by the entire cast! along with the perk above
- If you donate $500 or more, you will receive a seat to the show free of ticket charge; along with the perks above
- If you donate $1,000 or more, you will receive a producer credit on the show's program; along with the rest of the perks
The Impact
Each and every one of these donations will impact the outcome of the show in a big way! The more money we make for this project, the more the world of "Roommates" will come to life! That can come in various ways:
- More in depth costuming, props, and set dressing
- bigger stages with more seating
- More exposure for me and my actors to New York City and more
- And more!
If we go above and beyond our goal of $5,000, I would absolutely LOVE to be able to pay my actors and crew members for their hard work and dedication to this dream of mine as well! My group is simply being a part of this process to get exposure and support me; that shows a lot of how good these peoples' hearts are!
Risks & Challenges
This is a project I am deeply passionate about that has inspired me to continue writing more! One thing you can count on me for is to never give up my passions and work as hard as I can to make this. happen. If this is successful, it will not only teach me so much about the behind the scenes of producing my own show, but it will help me grow as an actor and writer in New York City with a big dream that I will work endlessly to make come true! So if you can, donate and be a part of the true beginning of mine and my actors' success!
