Help us stage A Lesbian Love Story!
Donation protected
Kluane and Rosie have written a musical and now we need your help to stage it!
A Lesbian Love Story: The Musical was conceptualised at Edinburgh Fringe in 2023. What started as a joke, soon turned into something awesome as we realised that there just aren't enough feel-good lesbian musicals. Spoiler alert - no lesbians die in this musical! In fact, no one dies. It's a show about love, and don't we all need one of those at the moment?
Whilst our story centres queerness, it transcends gender and sexuality. It's got songs that will unleash some serious feels, and what more do you need in a musical?
So will you help us stage A Lesbian Love Story: The Musical so we can share this with the world?
What are we asking for?
We are asking for a sum that will help us with:
- show development costs - at the moment, we are self-funding and writing across 3 countries (Kluane is in the UK, Rosie is in Singapore, and our music maestro, Henry, is in Australia!). In August 2025 we are workshopping our musical to develop it further. Costs for this could include: venue hire; paying actors, musical director, orchestrator, and a director.
- taking the show to various festivals around the world like Edinburgh, Brighton, Perth and Adelaide! We also have big dreams of staging the musical in Singapore but can't get any grant funding because the musical "promotes an alternative lifestyle", so some of this money will go to hopefully staging it there.
- staging the kind of love story with characters that Rosie needed to see as a young queer person.
Thank you in advance for helping us bring our story to life!
