Bring Immersive Three Sisters to Life in Chicago

Hello! My name is Lexy Weixel, and this summer I will be producing an immersive production of Three Sisters. The goal of this show is to engage the Rogers Park and larger Chicago community in an immersive theatrical experience unlike anything they've seen. Taking place at the United Church of Rogers Park, the audience will follow the actors throughout three floors of the space, and even into the outside garden, to experience this classic story.

The goal of this fundraiser is to secure funds for paying the creative team and provide a higher budget for set, props, and costumes.

This show has a 14-person cast, with a production team of 9. Altogether, with 23 people involved, ticket sales will cover everyone's promised pay. However, we would like to provide more wiggle room for lower-priced tickets. With room for 15 audience members each show, tickets will be priced in tiers. 5 at $25, 5 at $35, and 5 at $45. We expect to sell out with the small audience size. However, the goal is to make more tickets available at $25 for those who can't afford the higher tiers. Or even provide a discount code for $15 tickets, if the fundraising goal is fully reached.

This funding will also give us the ability to source higher-quality props, set pieces, and costumes.

This entire production is being funded by me. I'm just a theatre artist with a decent day job and a love for Chekhov and weird immersive theatre. I am not making any money back on this production, as it was not the goal. The goal is to provide a fulfilling artistic experience for the creative team and audience. Any amount you can give will go a long way.
