Porchlight Theatre needs a "kickstart!"

Many of you know that I am an artistic associate with Porchlight Theatre, the premiere music theatre of Chicago. I was there at the very beginning, directing the first show Porchlight ever produced with a bunch of friends from college and a ton of new friends from the city.

Porchlight is in a "kickstarter" campaign right now, and is trying to raise a mere $5000 through this innovate (relatively new) website. You can see a very cool video highlighting this season's show selection, and in particular the first show, Stephen Sondheim's "Putting It Together." This is the first production under the leadership of new artistic director Michael Weber. No other Chicago theater company in the last 17 years has produced more work by the master of American music theatre.

I am so excited about the new direction of Porchlight through Michael Weber's leadership, and I am asking all of my friends and blog readers to join in this campaign - even a small donation can help to make this season happen. As you might guess, making theatre is expensive, and yet, Porchlight succeeds in many ways by stretching every dollar to its maximum impact.

Would you go to this website RIGHT NOW and contribute? Thanks!
