The Path to Catherine, a new musical

HELP US GET TO THE GRAMMYS! 

Our album is in consideration for Best Musical Theater Album at the Grammy Awards, and we're raising $7,500 to help give it the attention it deserves. 

Selections from The Path to Catherine, released by Center Stage Records, is the original cast recording of our musical about the young woman who would become Catherine the Great, and the two powerful women who shaped her destiny. 

But this isn't your typical musical theater cast album. 

As Los Angeles-based songwriters, we approached the recording as a contemporary studio album, combining the musicians and orchestrations from our theatrical production with professional record production, live instruments, synthesizers, and sophisticated studio techniques. 

The result is a recording designed to stand on its own, not simply document a stage production. And we're enormously proud of it. 

Now we have an extraordinary opportunity. 

Our album is in consideration for a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album. 

We're thrilled to be part of the conversation. But as independent musical theater writers, we don't have the marketing resources of a major Broadway production behind us. 

And the truth is, visibility costs money. 

Getting our recording heard means reaching industry professionals, creating compelling promotional materials, and getting the music in front of the people who can help it find a wider audience. 

That's why we're raising $7,500 to support our Grammy promotional campaign. 

Your tax-deductible contribution, made through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas, will help us give this recording the visibility we believe it deserves. 

Whether you can give $25, $100, $250, or any amount that feels right, we'd be enormously grateful. 

Thank you for helping us take The Path to Catherine one step further.
