What Is This $ For?
Help everyone see 19! Your donation will go toward the next strategic phase of the production, specifically supporting:
- A mini-run at a high-visibility, nationally recognized venue.
- An industry read (ie. backer's audition) in New York City that will get us in front of producers and investors interested in backing us.
Just as every vote counts, so does every dollar, so please give anything you can! We are so grateful.
What Is 19?
19 is the powerful and little-known story of the diverse group of women who fought for the 19th Amendment - women’s right to vote. Told through the eyes of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, and others, 19 captures the struggle, injustice, and ultimate victory of the women's suffragist movement. Re-imagined for a new generation, the inspirational story of these fearless women is brought to life through jazz, spoken word, and dance. In an age where women’s rights have come to the forefront again, and the approaching bicentennial year around the corner, the time for 19 is now!
Why Is This Important?
For too long women's history has been silenced. Inspirational stories such as this have been cast in the shadows, particularly those that celebrate women of color. It's time to shine the spotlight on these stories and empower the next generation to use their voices to change the course of history.
2020 is the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. With this fast approaching and poignant benchmark, our team of independent producers are working toward a full production in theaters by the end of that year. Will you help us get there?
Who's Behind This?
Since 2017, the team of independent writers, directors, composers and actors have worked tirelessly to bring concert performances of the completed show to packed theaters, community centers, museums, schools and historical sites. From school children to government officials, high praise, financial support, critical acclaim and unwavering support has fueled the production this far. Learn more about us
