iParty

Donation protected
Hello. My name is Genevieve Rand, and I want to entertain you. iParty is a creative concept that I have been working since 2023. I am asking for help for the event to come to fruition and am hoping you will help support an independent artist. Ready to hear about it?! :)

iParty is a one woman variety show and party happening in 2025 in Philadelphia, PA (ideally in spring). It has a 2-hour runtime including original poetry readings, stand-up comedy, vocal performances, and a special ceremony. The reason for iParty and the ceremony will be revealed at the show. There is comedic flair throughout. Afterwards, the night is concluded with a party (2 hour DJ set)... and it is all performed by one woman: me!

There will be 2 art installations on display at the event, and I will also be launching my first, self-published poetry zine.

Cocktail attire is required, and there is a password at the door.

You might be asking, "Is this real?" Yes. Yes, it is. iParty is a destination event where you are guaranteed to have a blast while taking in some art and being entertained for a full 2 hours before partaking in celebrating a new phase of life.

For donations $30 and above, you will receive complimentary admission to the event in person.

For donations $40 and above, you will receive admission plus a copy of my poetry zine (can be shipped/mailed to you).

If you and/or your business are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact me directly.

For financial transparency, here is where your money will go:
- alcohol
- food
- chairs
- costumes
- 2 hooded robes (for the ceremony)
- red carpet
- step and repeat banner (for photos on the red carpet)
- zine printing

Thank you in advance for your donation. It's going to be lots of fun, and I hope to see you there!
