<div><strong>Help Us Support Local, AI Critical Theatre!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With the growing presence of AI, humanity faces an important question: Can this technology artificially fulfill human needs? To what extent?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our names are Clara McKenzie, Topaz Gao, and Angelina Noelle and we are fundraising to bring our theatre production ≥ (Greater than or Equal to) to life. An interactive, Sleep No More-like theatrical experience that transforms the online digital space into an immersive, tangible environment for audiences to investigate. As the narratives of each character branch off and lead deeper into the rabbit hole of omnipresent AI, our story explores how this technology affects the human experience of love, loss, and the self.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through opportunities of interaction with the world, its holographic characters, and the freedom to follow whatever storyline calls to you, we invite you to interrogate the effects of AI on different levels - from global repercussions to deeply personal consequences - and compare your takeaways to your friends who chose a different path.

<div><strong>Help Us Support Our Community of Fellow Artists</strong>
</div>
<div>Theatre is a labour of love, which requires funding to operate. Your generosity will help us rent the ideal venue, hire actors, pay set artists and costume designers, and the other people whose work supports us along the way.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Location, Location, Location!</strong>
</div>
<div>Donations are how we will get our “foot in the door”, so to speak. We actually mean that literally. Your donations will give us the ability to secure the ideal venue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our perfect venue is <a href="https://www.targetmargin.org/space-rentals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Target Margin</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For our one-week run, the cost to rent this venue is $7,500. If we can hit this goal by the mid June, we can guarantee an excellent show.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is how our story will truly come to life. We can’t wait for audiences to walk through this dramatic location and interact with sets and characters. This enormous space gives us the opportunity to welcome you into a new, tech-filled world. We will be able to create grand sets, design dramatic lighting, and put up walls that conceal secrets and surprise our visitors.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In Conclusion</strong>
</div>
<div>We are truly grateful to anyone who donates to us and our project. This is a labour of love — not only ours, but our family and community’s. We love you and can’t wait to see you opening night!
