        Still curious how you're determining who each donor's favorite character is. I don't remember ever being asked. Or for that matter seeing a list of the characters.

    The show was quite a success, and we are preparing pledge rewards as we speak. As soon as they are ready I'll start contacting everyone about getting them to you. As soon as we have images or video I'll post them here for you to check out

    We couldn't have done it without you!

    Meet our designers

    We had a great rehearsal with everybody today! The band and singers are sounding great, and the puppetry is really starting to come together. It's going to be quite a spectacular show, if I do say so myself...

    We still need to hit that final push to our target amount of $1000! We believe in you - only 4 more days to go!

    Check out the websites of the lovely, talented designers working with us on Zoophilic Follies:
