Our final showcase at the Alliance Theatre was postponed due to Covid, but now we're back and ready to show the final version before sending it out to Theatres and Universities across North America! We were halfway through rehearsals in 2020 when the pandemic hit, so a large portion of our grant money went to paying our cast and crew for the work they had already put into the show.
Now we are raising money to ensure we can put on the showcase we've always hoped for! You would be helping to fund our final demo fees, director fees, actor fees, and more!

Help us advocate for women's mental health by re-telling a story that has stood the test of time!

What a life this show has already had! It has been showcased from Rockford College in Illinois to PlaySmelter New Works Festival in Sudbury, Canada! In Atlanta, it's been seen at the Horizon Theatre, Atlanta Musical Theatre Festival, and now the Alliance Theatre with the Reiser Lab!

ABOUT THE YELLOW WALLPAPER

Energized for a new generation with an expanded story and modern original music, The Yellow Wallpaper is a musical adaptation of the celebrated short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This haunting show tells of a rising writer and new mother, afflicted with postpartum depression at the turn of the 19th century. She’s subjected to “the rest cure”, a misguided but popular treatment at the time: forced to give up writing, and isolated to a chilling room papered floor-to-ceiling in a ghastly shade of yellow. The young woman’s descent into madness unspools before our eyes as she’s enchanted by a mysterious, frightening realm behind the yellow wallpaper.

The original short story, first published in 1892, is regarded as an important early work of Women’s literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women’s health, both physical and mental. The Yellow Wallpaper musical adaptation was chosen as a project for development in the Alliance’s 6th Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab in 2019.
