Hi friends and theatre lovers!

We have a massive opportunity. Our theatre company is heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August to make our Edinburgh Fringe debut, presenting two deeply human plays. While the stories are completely different, they share a single heartbeat: how humans rescue each other from isolation and find healing through unexpected connection.

Putting on two shows at the world's largest arts festival is an incredible feat, but because our creative team overlaps entirely, we are operating as one streamlined company. Our ultimate goal to fully support our artists and team is $15,000, but hitting our immediate milestone of $4,500 will officially lock in our travel logistics and venue costs.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible early Supporters who have already kicked off this journey by contributing $1,100 to give us a powerful head start!

⭕️ Meet the Shows:

• Kitty Daddy: A moving solo show written & performed by award-winning monologist Bob Brader, directed by Suzanne Bachner. It's the story of how a man is saved by the very cat he rescues.

• CIRCLE: An award-winning Off-Broadway hit, a sexy, fast-paced comedy written & directed by Suzanne Bachner, starring Anna Bridgforth & Bob Brader. 2 actors play 8 interconnected characters colliding in a surprising daisy chain of intimate encounters.

Meet the Team:

Want to see the faces behind the magic? We are running a special spotlight campaign introducing our brilliant artistic team one by one! Head over to our Instagram @jmtctheatre to see everyone’s photo in a row and meet the family.

Where the Funds Go:

Thanks to our past work, we already own almost all of our costumes, props, and physical assets. This campaign is entirely about supporting the humans making the art. Your donations will go directly toward Artist Fees for our incredible team and helping us cover remaining venue costs. Every dollar stays right here in the US to pay our team before we cross the Atlantic.

♥️ How You Can Support Us (No Stress, Just Love!):

We are running this campaign purely to support the independent artists, actors, and creatives who are bringing these two incredible shows to life this summer. Your support is a pure investment in independent theatre and the artists making it happen!

No donation is too small or too great! Please share our campaign with your network. Sharing is an incredibly powerful way to help us hit our goal.

Thank you for helping us combat isolation and inspire connection through theatre. Let's get these shows to Scotland!

With love & gratitude,

Bob & Suzanne
