Short Summary

The Paradise Theatre School is a 501c3 located in Jefferson County, Washington. Our mission is to train artistic leaders and tell stories that address the problems and possibilities of our times. Past productions have included The Exonerated, My Name is Rachel Corrie, I Am My Own Wife and 4:48 Psychosis. We are known for our Chekhov week and our unique approach to making theatre relevant.

Rosebud: the Lives of Orson Welles by Mark Jenkins fits into this model. We wish to tour this show and inspire a new generation of creative leaders and raise funds for The Paradise Theatre School. This show has had a successful run in Port Townsend, Washington and is currently running in Seattle. We wish to bring the production to Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. Help us broaden the reach of The Paradise Theatre School.

 What We Need & What You Get

We need $7000. This funding covers down payments for theatres, publicity, outreach, technical support. All of this is necessary to get the show a base of success in order to ensure future runs and help The Paradise reach as many people as possible.

For your support you will be listed as co-producers of the show. We offer signed posters, coffee table picture books, special performances and parties that will put you backstage with the people that made this show happen. Be a part of a show on the road in America. The playwright, Mark Jenkins, has given his blessing for The Paradise to reach a wide audience.

The funding will be broken down as follows: $1,200 down payment for The Actors Conservatory in Portland, $1,500 for a Publicity agent familiar with promoting a show in Portland, $500 technical support for the run. $1800 down payment for City Lights theatre in San Francisco, $1500 for a publicity agent familiar with promoting a show in San Francisco, $500 technical support for the run of the show. The funds will go towards making Rosebud: the Lives of Orson Welles a success on the road. If we don't make our goal we will downscale in terms of the space we choose and publicity but we still plan on visiting those cities in 2013 with the show.

Every dollar contributed helps The Paradise Theatre School get closer to the goal of remodeling and reopening our home space in Chimacum, Washington.The run in Portland at 70% capacity will raise $11,000. The run in San Francisco at 70% capacity would raise $17,000. That total is $28,000 - a $4 potential for every $1 raised. That is very exciting!

 The Impact

Orson Welles was a creative leader and innovator in every medium he touched. Rosebud: the Lives of Orson Welles aims to inspire a new generation of Orson Welles' fans. We wish to educate as many people as possible about his creative contribution to the United States and the world.

The Port Towsend Leader has called the show "Brilliant and True. The actor gives an astounding, seemingly intuitive performance." It states "a show not to be missed." The Kitsap Sun calls the show "a superb performance, Van Beuzekoms's transformation is stunning. Again stating it is "A show not to be missed." A performance that forces the audience to look at their own willingness to risk, to look at our country's attitude to artists, and ask ourselves - How is the creative life relevant? Help us share this show with other people. Bringing the quality of The Paradise Theatre School that people expect to people who have not seen a Paradise production.
