Your Turn To Listen: Musical Debut Performance

Donation protected
Join us in bringing Your Turn To Listen the musical to life!

My name is Gwenith Kikkawa, and with my spouse Kevin Alexander, we are thrilled to announce our new musical and Kickstarter campaign.

Your Turn To Listen is a semi-autobiographical pop-rock-folk musical that explores the complexities of post-cult recovery. It delves into the psyches of former cult members as they reunite and grapple with the question of "What now?" Featuring a powerful score, and thought-provoking themes, Your Turn To Listen is a musical journey of pain, hope, and healing, as former friends confide in each other the truth of what happened, and former lovers experience an intense emotional reunion.

Kevin and I have a passion for telling stories and a desire to bring Your Turn To Listen to the stage. Please help us make our debut possible!

To make this dream a reality, we need your help. Your support will go towards the following:

  • Completing demo recordings
  • Hiring talented performers
  • Hiring design consultants for lighting, costumes, and directing
  • Hiring a dramaturg
  • Venue rental fees
  • Set and stage design materials
  • Lighting and sound equipment rental fees
  • Costume and prop design and creation costs
  • Printing costs for promotional materials
  • Music composition and arrangement fees
  • Insurance and liability fees

We are eager to share Your Turn To Listen with the world and bring attention to the insidious nature of cults and the devastating impact they can have on individuals and families. We aim to create a space for empathy and understanding where people can connect with the experiences of cult survivors and recognize the signs of cult behavior in their own lives.

Join us in our mission to amplify the voices of survivors and bring hope and healing to the stage.

Thank you. We appreciate your support!
