Dear friends, family, and theatre lovers,

The story of Read My Lips has paralleled our theatre-making experience in terms of its relentlessness, but also its joy. A team packed top to bottom with some of the brightest emerging talent from NYU, we are beyond excited to make our mark on an international stage and showcase this unapologetically queer story. We are so thankful for your support as we strive to create an unmissable theatrical event and shine a light on the messy beauty of LGBTQ+ love stories.

We have lovingly crafted a story that shines in its raw, grounded, and truthful drama as well as its moments of theatrical spectacle draped in the stylings of supernatural horror. No corners were cut in creating the beautifully realized sets, costumes, makeup looks, stage combat SFX, and intimacy choreography that elevate Read My Lips with professional-grade production value. All of these details texture the groundbreaking performances from some of New York’s most cutting-edge talent, allowing them an invaluable opportunity to shine onstage in front of some of the most highly influential voices across the globe in theatre. Working continuously on the development of the project alongside navigating college graduation and career responsibilities, the creative team has meticulously shaped a fully realized and highly entertaining story while attempting tirelessly to remove all obstacles on the way to Scotland.

This is the moment we turn to you, our generous and supportive community, to help this exciting and poignant story get across the ocean. As artists, we are only as strong as the community we surround ourselves with, and we are eternally grateful for your assistance as we expand our artistic network with some of the most influential and important voices in the industry. Join us in uplifting new voices onstage by telling underrepresented stories in this captivating, hair-raising sapphic thriller.
