Mr. Staiano ain't cheap! And he's the best one in the biz. This fund will cover Gianni's time so far and keep Thirst Trap together for at least one more weekend of gigs.

Gianni's amazing, but more instruments will bring this musical to the next level. This fund will pay future musicians to collaborate on song development and to perform shows.

I love a one person show, but this musical wants an ensemble. This fund will pay for rehearsal time, performance time, and union fees if needed.

Help us perform in a real theater! To start, we'll need to book and pay for our own venues up front. I have cheap taste, but you know what California real estate is like...

Gianni has a recording studio, so it's cheap... but not free. The number one way for new musicals to gain traction is by releasing an album. This fund will also cover a subscription to host content on streaming services.

Creating video content will give us an online presence, and work samples are necessary to get new gigs, directors, and/or producers. This fund covers videography of live shows, crew, equipment rentals, location rentals and production design for music videos, and post production costs.

Every new play contest has an entrance fee. Many theaters require prospective artists to pay to work with a resident director to be considered. Most festivals charge artists to participate. This fund will open doors.

My craftiness has served me well, but this fund will get me beyond hand-drawn promo images scanned at Fed Ex. This covers digital content creation, playbills, targeted ads, and a website subscription fee.

This fund covers all objects and clothing used and worn on stage. Most things I borrow or build myself. When I have to buy I find the cheapest possible option.
