<div>ÉLÉPHANT
</div>
<div>Are you ready for escaping?

<div><br />
</div>
<div>This summer, we’ve been invited to present ÉLÉPHANT at the 2025 SheLA Summer Theater Festival in West Hollywood—and we need your help to get there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising $20,000 to bring this important, visually striking new play to the stage in Los Angeles. Every dollar helps us cover the essentials:
</div>
<div>✈️ Airfare &amp; Ground Transportation
</div>
<div>Housing
</div>
<div>Artist Pay
</div>
<div>Production Costs (costumes, props, set, lighting, sound)
</div>
<div>Rehearsals &amp; Tech
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a team of 20 artists, and 12 of us are traveling across the country to bring this story to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ABOUT THE SHOW
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Set in a 19th-century Parisian brothel, ÉLÉPHANT follows 13-year-old Clérèse as she comes of age under the care of her mother, Magdith, a sex worker desperate to shield her from a brutal world. When a mysterious visitor arrives, Clérèse’s body begins to change—and a surreal, fantastical journey unfolds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Developed with Rising Sun Performance Company over several years, this dreamlike, allegorical tale explores puberty, trauma, and transformation. Inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec, global documentaries and the lived experiences of those often silenced, ÉLÉPHANT is an intimate, raw, and visually powerful meditation on girlhood, womanhood, and survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>WHY THIS MATTERS
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe ÉLÉPHANT is a story that must be told—and seen.
</div>
<div>This is a bold, feminist, and collaborative work that speaks to anyone who’s ever questioned the roles they’ve been handed or fought to reclaim their voice. It is led by a majority-female creative team, and our invitation to SheLA places this work on a national platform that amplifies femme and nonbinary artists in leadership roles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we can’t do it without your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>HOW YOU CAN HELP
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will directly support:
</div>
<div>* Plane tickets and lodging for our team
</div>
<div>* Fair pay for our artists and crew
</div>
<div>* Building the show: set pieces, costumes, props, lighting, and sound
</div>
<div>* Rehearsal space and transportation
</div>
<div>* Getting our story to the people who need to see it most
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, every single contribution brings us one step closer to lifting this powerful story off the page and into the spotlight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SHARE THE STORY
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even if you can’t give today, you can help by sharing our campaign with your community. Use your voice to help us amplify ÉLÉPHANT and the artists behind it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can bring this dream to life—onstage, in the light, where it belongs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in the power of story, the strength of girls, and the future of feminist theatre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>The Elephant Team!
