I'm ptmc, Patrick Thomas McCarthy, writing Book & Lyrics, & with Jerico DeAngelo, contributing Music & Orchestrations, we've composed a new musical inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death, titled MASQUE: A Musical Revel. We've also already done all of our paperwork with the copyright office and with ASCAP when we "dropped" our concept album of musical numbers from Act One of MASQUE on ALL major music platforms, we recorded with the "original" cast who also did a "live" performance of the 1st act on 1/26/25 at El Barrio ARTSPACE in East Harlem. In doing so, we have spent the money you so generously donated in 2025 in meeting our 1st goal of $3,375. We are now raising that goal to $9,999 to aid us in finishing the music for the 2nd act and repeating the 2025 process in 2026 to finish MASQUE. Same campaign, higher goal, so we don't need to recreate the wheel in starting a new campaign.
