A Thank You Video from Between Two Boroughs!



We’ve done it! Not only did we raise $18,209 through our online campaign, but we’re ALSO thrilled to tell you that our offline funds have brought us to a whopping total thus far of $24,750. We are simply blown over by the incredible generosity of the friends, family, colleagues, and strangers in our lives.

Thanks to our fiscal sponsorship with Fractured Atlas, we have a year-round fundraising page up and running for Between Two Boroughs where we can accept tax-deductible donations at ANY time: http://bit.ly/B2BDonate.

In addition to exceeding our fundraising goals, we secured our theatre! Cannibal Galaxy: a love story will have its New York premiere at the esteemed New Ohio Theatre from June 8-17, 2018.

Now we can dive into the exciting work of bringing this play to life. Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook as we’ll be giving you a behind-the-scenes look throughout the entire process. We will be fulfilling perks in the coming weeks, so be on the look-out for emails from us with updates. And of course, as we get closer to performances, we will be in touch about tickets and other important news.

Stay great,
Becca and Jenn

The Final Stretch (Plus! Cluuuuuuues)


Hello!

We are overflowing with gratitude and surprise as each day passes and we get that much closer to $20,000. Thank you to all of our donors thus far who have helped us raise more than 75% of our goal. With your support, we are already able to cover the theater rental, insurance, and a portion of the design budget. This last stretch will get us a press representative, marketing opportunities, and more.

So here we are! Keep spreading the word. Folks out there who have yet to donate, there's still time! Believe it or not, more exclusive perks are coming your way before this thing wraps up on Thursday, November 16th at noon. And we cannot stress this enough – every little bit makes a difference. With your help, we can bring this important play to NYC. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yours,
Becca and Jenn

P.S. Oh! One last thing. We have a big announcement coming! Watch this video for more info :)

WHO WE ARE
Between Two Boroughs Productions was founded in 2014 by Jenn Haltman and Becca Schneider. Through empathy, humor, and bold simplicity, we share stories that embrace the impossibilities of life, love, and art. We foster a community of artists who choose to take risks and, through the work, incite conversation about our world. We want you to be a part of that conversation.

OUR NEXT PROJECT
Cannibal Galaxy: a love story, a new play by Charise Greene, centers around a group of employees at a Washington, D.C. science museum. What begins as a lighthearted gaze into a typical work week is catapulted into a senseless universe after a random act of violence occurs. We witness these characters struggle to collect the fragments of a shattered world as they strive to return to their day-to-day lives.

An Ensemble Studio Theatre Sloan finalist, Charise’s play was developed by Fault Line Theatre at Xavier University, where the world premiere was produced in September (to rave reviews!) prior to our planned New York premiere in 2018.

We believe that art is a powerful tool for change, and given our country’s current climate of violence, we are eager to bring people together and reflect upon what has become a national epidemic. The recent tragedy in Las Vegas only further underscores our need to produce this play. With each violent act that occurs on our soil, we are reminded how terrifyingly important it is to tell this story right now.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
This is by far our most ambitious project to date, both in size and cost. Our previous productions were built on shoestring budgets via two successful Indiegogo campaigns. This time, we are raising the bar financially: Between Two Boroughs is now a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. This allows us to receive fully tax-deductible donations to the extent allowed by law.

Here are a few examples of where your donation will go:
  • Rehearsal studio space
  • Theater rental
  • Marketing
  • Press representative
  • Design budget: lighting, sound, scenic, costume, and projection

DONATE AND SHARE
Cannibal Galaxy: a love story is a beautiful, timely play, and we would be honored to have you be a part of it. Whether you are able to give $5 or $5,000, you can help make this ambitious piece a reality. Again, every donation is tax-deductible, plus we are offering fantastic incentives, so be sure to check out what's available (more will be announced over the next 30 days). And of course, we would love for you to spread the word about our campaign. 

Thank you as always for your support!

Gratefully yours,
Jenn and Becca
