Help fund HIPPOCRyTIC OATH – A Musical Remedy
Donation protected
HIPPOCRyTIC OATH is a two-act musical that follows the journey of a newly-qualified doctor from his first day at work.
This timely and edgy story tackles today’s burgeoning health crisis in a way that puts the power to heal back in your hands. In our hands.
How is it edgy? It challenges existing beliefs about what makes us sick and how we heal, but it’s backed by solid science and the research and findings of leading-edge doctors, health practitioners and researchers, as well as time-proven, traditional practitioners.
WHY do we need your help?
There are many steps between the concept and a theatrical production. Our first round of funds will go towards a table read.
WHAT's a ‘Table Read’?
Visualise six professional actors sitting around a table with the script in hand...
A ‘table read’ gives us a chance to test the existing first-draft script ‘live’ so we can see how it’s flowing, what needs to go, what can stay, what needs tweaking.
Professional actors will ensure we are most efficient with our time. They’ll sing whatever music we have ready or just talk through the lyrics. Then we’ll have a roundtable discussion about how it went, what worked, what didn’t.
WHEN will we present a first production?
After the table read, these are some of the next steps on our way to a first production:
- Musical scores for all songs need to be completed. (Approx $30K)
- Script rewrites as needed, incorporating feedback from the table read. (Approx $10K)
- A marketing campaign to raise the necessary funds for a production. (Approx $10K)
- Staging and costume concepts will need to be developed.
We’re going to need some $50,000 to cover our costs over the next six months while the full show is being composed. When it’s ready, we’ll fund-raise for the rehearsal process, which will encompass actors, director, composer, writer, designers, venue hire, etc.
WHO is making this happen? / Our Team Includes:
- Liliane Grace is the writer of book and lyrics, and the creator/initiator of the project
- Stephen Utting is the composer
- Kelly Joyce is the actress/director
- Jacq Cronin is our marketing manager.
And we're in conversation with a couple of potential directors.
