Summary

During the COVID pandemic, I wrote a ballet story, The Prince of Barykova. It is a modern fairy tale about a prince who takes a trip around the world to find his wife/soulmate. It is supposed to be danced in the style of a romantic ballet and set to rock music instead of classical music. My intention is to create a new ballet tradition; The Nutcracker ballet is a part of the American Christmas tradition and I am hoping The Prince of Barykova becomes a part of the American Easter tradition. 

The ballet will be on stage in New York City in April 2022. The world premiere will be on Nightglow's YouTube channel during the Easter season in April 2022. And it will be posted on YouTube every year afterwards in celebration of Easter.

To tell you a little about myself: I am the founder of Nightglow Entertainment. It's mission: to remember forgotten stories, to tell stories no one else has told before, and for these stories to achieve immortality through performing and multi-disciplinary art forms. The first project under the Nightglow brand was The Charioteer of Rome in which I directed, produced, and self-financed. As a self-published play, it became the performing arts finalist of the 11th annual NIEA (National Indie Excellence Awards) and has already been translated into Spanish.
 

What We Need & What You Get

We are raising $25,000 US. The funds will go towards the production costs: pointe shoes, rehearsal space, recording studio sessions, costumes, set design, and performance rental space. I will pay for ads and marketing.

WE HAVE DONATION LEVELS FOR EVERY TYPE OF BUDGET! Give as much as you are able! This is a small (online) entertainment company that doesn't have the budget of other entertainment companies so every dollar COUNTS. Thanks in advance.
