    Success! You rock.

    We did it!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  With 3 days to go, we've raised $3120 [and counting].

    We now will have a playbill for our show.  AND with monies leftover, because y'all are being so generous and still donating, we get to do nice things like buy dinner for the kids and their families, and flowers and cards for our little rockstars [shhh, don't say anything, we want it to be a surprise!].

    One of the kids said at a previous show, "Thank you for making this the best night of my life."  And another, "Thank you for treating me like a king."  Because of YOU, we get to bring such positivity into the lives of those who come from challenging communities.

    It takes a bit of time for the pledge processing to take place, but once it does, we'll be in touch re. getting you your reward.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

    The Fear Experiment Crew

    A Taste of What You Made Possible

    We have two days left before our Kickstarter project ends; our goal was $4000, which would allow us to print a playbill.

    With your AMAZING SUPPORT, we've raised $4639!!

    I am ecstatic to report the playbill design has been sent to the printer and is currently in production.  That wouldn't have happened without you.

    So, thanks.  Your generosity means so much to us.

    Here is a taste of what you've supported, and of what you'll see on April 9th at the Park West!

    The Dance Group

    The Improv Group 

    Thank you hugs to you all!

    Saya and the rest of the Fear Experiment crew
