As a follow up to our amazing run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, UNSEEN was on a roll. Kim performed at the APAP/ NYC Conference in 2025 and then was all set to head to the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June 2025. But then, Kim shattered her kneecap and the only thing she could focus on was healing. Now, after a year of 2 surgeries, physical therapy, and multiple doctors appointments, she is finally ready to "jump" back in with the blessing of her medical team. Here's the plan...
One May 8, we start rehearsals at the Vineyard Theatre under a NYSCA supported program. Our goal is to re-work, polish, and add some original music. (Kim is gonna sing!)
Finally, on June 6, Misti and Kim fly to Los Angeles to get ready for the Hollywood Fringe Festival June 9-23. TICKETS go on sale May 1!
Hollywood Fringe Festival June 4-28, 2026
Sooooo.... we need YOUR help to get this show ready for the second largest Fringe Festival in the world! This opportunity will allow UNSEEN first to be tested by our supportive NYC crowd and then put in front of West Coast presenters and booking agents who showed interest at the APAP/NYC 2026 Conference. Also, it's Kim's hometown (Go Bruins!), and her family and friends have been waiting to see it.
Fractured Atlas' Springtime Fundraising Campaign
To bring this vision to life, we are asking for $10,000. Your tax deductible donation will support rehearsal space, venue and festival fees, PR and marketing costs, artist and technician fees, and travel among other things. Below is the full breakdown. 2026 Expenses
Our campaign runs from May 4 - 18. But Fractured Atlas is also running their "Spring Match Campaign" right in the middle of ours. Here's how it works. Every project who receives individual one-time donations of any amount from Monday, May 4, 12:01 AM ET through Friday, May 8, 11:59 PM ETis automatically entered into a pool to receive $1,000.
