Overview
Compelling reason to contribute: Fringe is the Olympics of Theatre! EMH Productions supports aspiring artists with beautiful hearts, souls, a willingness to share it with you to entertain you, to move you, to inspire, to make you think. EMH has selected Aditya Putcha, a compelling writer, to bring his first theatre piece to the stage. He allows us to see all his flaws, his heart: Something many of us never dare to do. Fringe is the absolute pinnacle to showcase Aditya's first world premiere!

Short Summary

Welcome! 

ABOUT EMH:

EMH Productions supports the art of acting, directing, producing and writing through live theatre productions, casting director workshops,  film, TV and casting. My goal is to provide an arena that artists in this industry can network, grow their craft and find support to achieve their dreams. 

This project with Aditya Putcha started over two years ago, when he brought to me the idea he wanted to write a stage play based on his own experiences trying to find "the one".  Over these past two years, I've watched this play grow and deepen and finally hit that mark of being ready for the stage.  It speaks to so many truthful every day experiences in trying to find our own self worth, in looking for love in all the wrong and right places, and to the basic human need for compassion.  A piece well worth the time and effort we've put in. 

What you help us achieve is the World Premiere of Aditya's play, Inversion, at the prestigious Hollywood Fringe Fest!  Fringe began in Edinburgh, which is the largest arts festival in the world and has branched off into countries and cities worldwide, allowing a huge playground for the artists out there who in turn inspire us to laugh, to cry, to truly be human. 

What We Need & What You Get

To achieve this amazing opportunity:

$2500 - this pays for our venue, the Fringe Fest entrance fee, the props and set for the show, and marketing costs for getting the show on the map for the Fringe Fest audiences and you!

PERKS: 

1)  Tickets for the show, signed posters, cast photos or even an original copy of the sciprt of this world premiere!

2)  Can't make the show?  Well a DVD could be in your future of the premiere performance!

3)  Chance to have a sit down with the amazing artists who have brought this to life: Cast, Writer, and Producer/Director

Even if we don't reach our goal, EVERY BIT HELPS.  It will go towards our venue and production costs for the show.  Theatre needs you, to survive, to thrive and to continue to inspire all of us!

The Impact

So often we look to make a huge impact on the world, not realizing that by simply giving a little to one person, we reach a whole host of others.  EMH has brought 4 other original works to the stage, and every time it's been beyond rewarding to see how many people were touched, helped, inspired by the writer who took time to put their story on paper.  Every night, every performance reached out to the hearts and minds of our audiences.  One became 1000.

This show will do the same, if you help it shine!

Risks & Challenges

This is EMH's 5th production for an original work, and the 3rd world premiere.  Bringing a world premiere to a festival is a whole new challenge, one that EMH is more than equipped to handle.  The challenges of doing a festival are vastly reduced simply because it is Hollywood Fringe:  They are beyond helpful in working with producers to make a show a success!  Between their expertise and the EMH know how, this show will take flight.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you want to help us out in other ways, we need volunteers to run our box office, and help with set up and tear down for each performance.  This is a festival, so we have 15 minutes to set up our show, 90 minutes to perform, and another 15 to vacate the premises.  It's fast, and needs to run like clockwork.  Anyone who wants to join in with us would be most welcome!

And that's all there is to it.

FULL SHOW DETAILS:

World Premiere at the Hollywood Fringe! It's "Big Bang Theory" Meets "Friends" in this touching romp through the dating world of our favorite stereotypes: Nerds, Hot Girls, and Players. What if Joey was best friends with Sheldon and tried to give him dating advice? And Sheldon tries that advice out on Rachel, or even Penny? This show has it's own set of uniquely quirky characters but that gives you an idea of the hilarity but also heart this show has in store for you!

SHOW INFO:
Adam, a socially awkward mathematician, especially with women, laments his inability to find the hot woman of his dreams to his best friend, Brendan, who seems to get any woman he wants. Thus begins the spiral into dating and love and relationships as Brendan encourages Adam to date a low self esteemed slightly older woman, Rhonda, in order to help Adam learn how to date. In meeting up with Rhonda, Adam finds his hot woman: Natalia, Rhonda's roommate. Thinking he's finally met the woman of his dreams, Adam forges ahead with Natalia thinking maybe he can also ease his mother's concerns about his well being as she declines into her own world of Alzheimers.

Romantic entanglements explode in this touching, all too real look at how men and women relate to not only the opposite sex as friends and lovers, but to each other as well.
