Help our new musical GLASS CEILINGS mount a production in Los Angeles (and beyond!)
GLASS CEILINGS is a new musical about women throughout history whose stories you don't know, but you should. Help us mount our first production at Rockwell Table and Stage in March 2020.
Wanted to update you and let you know that GLASS CEILINGS is booked for NINE evenings in March at Rockwell Table and Stage!
Save the date(s) - March 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, and 28.
We had auditions and callbacks in December and we were overwhelmed by the amazing talent that came out to sing and read for our show. Our cast is PHENOMENAL. Can't wait to get in the rehearsal room and #breakitdown
Ticket link coming soon!
Although we've only raised about a third of our $25,000 goal, with your donations, we've been able to put the deposit down for our nine nights at the theatre, so thank you for that! However, since we do have more expenses coming soon, if you could continue to share our project with your friends (and keep us in mind if you're able to make another tax deductible donation!) we'd greatly appreciate it.
Four songs from GLASS CEILINGS at Musi-CAL Oct 14!
The Foundation For New American Musicals has asked GLASS CEILINGS to perform at their upcoming Musi-CAL, a night featuring new music from new musicals born and bred in SoCal!
We'll be performing four songs from our show, presented by amazing singers Matisha Baldwin, Natalie Masini, Frankie Zabilka, Wendy Rosoff, and Natalie Lander! Our own Laura Watkins will play piano, Thomas Gardner, Jr. will play guitar, and Amber Barnard will be on drums.
Musi-CAL will take place in Hollywood at Rockwell Table and Stage (our show's future venue!) on Monday, October 14th, 8-10pm. Hosted by Brett Ryback. If you're interested, tickets and more info are available here.
We're thrilled to be honored in this way, to have this opportunity to preview some of our songs for an audience, and to promote our crowdfunding campaign and upcoming March performances (dates/times coming soon, we hope!)
Thanks for your continued support,
Jessica, Nick, and Laura glassceilingsmusical.com
Did you know that a teenage girl rode a midnight ride like Paul Revere, but went three times further? How about the pitching phenom who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig but was told there was no place for women in baseball? Did you know the most successful pirate of all time was a female?
They're not in history books but they ARE in our new musical, GLASS CEILINGS.
Glass Ceilings takes place in the surreal afterlife of "Hergatory," a cabaret bar where feminists throughout history go when they die. There they sip cocktails, sing with the band, and tell their stories through songs and flashbacks, which are often amusing, and always relatable and inspiring. Meanwhile, the "Hergatorians" watch current events unravel on Earth while waiting anxiously for more glass ceilings to come crashing down.
Our show explores what it means to be a feminist in today’s world and the ageless struggle for equality. It’s a story of women who, while diverse in their ages, races, and sexual preferences, know that changing the world starts with each and every one of us. MusiCAL bass.jpg 152.6 KB
What You're Donating To:
We believe our show could make it all the way to Broadway, but first we want to put up a production of it in Hollywood at a beautiful and fun cabaret bar that feels like you're "in" Hergatory - Rockwell Table and Stage.
Our goal is to produce at least 6 performances of the show in March 2020, which we think will line up nicely with Women's History Month (and maybe the upcoming election...)
We are hoping the shows will garner much needed press, publicity, and word of mouth, and will launch Glass Ceilings to the next level, with a production in New York City next in our sights.
