The Gardening Club: A New Musical @ FRINGE!
Donation protected
Hey there!
We are two American writer-composers, named Bella Wright and Carleigh McRitchie, graduating on BA Music at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
For the past two years we have been developing and writing our original musical, ‘The Gardening Club: A New Musical’. This spring, we were lucky enough to debut the musical on a stage with a full cast, pit orchestra, and production team. As the project continues to grow, The Gardening Club: A New Musical has officially gone on sale at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the biggest theatre festival in the world! But we need your help.
The Fringe Festival is an amazing opportunity for a project like ours to get put in front of the right industry people, however, the buzzing city of Edinburgh for a week of living, stage production, and transportation is costly. By donating to The Gardening Club: A New Musical, you will help get our musical to Edinburgh, give our actors a bed and food, and give our musical a real chance in this very competitive industry! All funds will go to set, props, programmes, accommodation and venue fees, food, and transportation.
More about our musical & why it’s so important we bring it to Fringe :
‘The Gardening Club: A New Musical’ is a musical based on true contraceptive pill history in the 1960s where married women were the only type of women able to take the birth control pill. Our musical takes place in 1960, Georgia, USA, where six girls start an illegal drug ring to distribute the birth control pill, using their gardening club as a cover-up. The musical is a taboo story about pleasure, self-discovery, shame, first times, & even harder pills to swallow. With hilarious characters, crude innuendos & powerful female friendships, this catchy pop-rock soundtrack explores issues that are still relevant & will echo in the years to come, making The Gardening Club: A New Musical a timeless tale.
We appreciate any and all donations!
