Birthing a genre-defying new musical with your help!
In 2018, Christine Jugueta created her first solo play with music and presented it at the Statera Foundation National Conference and we raised $1,888 to bring the team to Milwaukee.
After a life changing experience, the play went back into incubation and is now emerging as a full theatrical piece called The Red Thread: A New Myth Musical.
This timely work will explore grief, voice and legacy, and will feature genre-defying original music.
Actor/Singer/Composer/Writer Christine Jugueta and Sound Designer/Engineer Sharath Patel have teamed up to create this sonic world and they will be joined by long-time Broadway and New York artists to bring this piece to life.
We’re seeking seed producers - early believers who will help plant this work in fertile soil so that it has a chance to take root, find a home, and grow a life of its own. Here's a breakdown:
- 3 professionally produced songs for pitch presentation and single release (including sound design, co-production/co-arranging, mixing, mastering, music transcription, studio time) = $4,000 (discounted, these costs are easily in the $9k range)
- Travel/lodging/per diem for in-person recording sessions and readings = $1,000
- 1 private reading with professional Houston-based actors for the playwright to review the material before a more formal reading (7 actors, 1 director, 1 sound designer, 1 stage manager) = $1,000
- 1 Zoom reading with professional actors (7 actors, 1 director, 1 sound designer, 1 stage manager) = $2,000 (all contributors will be invited to this reading which will feature Broadway and New York-based artists)
We invite you to join us in an exciting time to amplify Asian voices, where you’ll be a part of our process in producing professional level demos, single releases, and independent readings all aimed at presenting this new work through the best channels.
In December, Christine will lead a sacred community offering at Asia Society-Texas Center sponsored by the Houston Arts Alliance — a celebration of the work and an acknowledgment of the historical influences that have informed the journey. We look forward to celebrating with you in-person or via live stream!
Thank you for supporting new works and believing in them!
