78% of Goal - Thanks to you!

Update #2 · Jan 29, 2012 · 1 comment

This is absolutely amazing - it's only 1 week into our campaign for The Dreamer and the Devil and we're already at 78% of our goal.

And it's all thanks to our wonderful donors!

Because of their support, we're on track to reach $7,000 and to be able to put The Dreamer and the Devil in front of investors and producers in Chicago...and eventually see it as a fully realized production.

Thank you!

As a special added bonus for our supporters, and for those who are considering support, we wanted to share a demo of a song from The Dreamer and the Devil.

The song is called These Are Dreams/Root's Song. It takes place in the first act of the show. Architect Daniel Burnham and his business partner and best friend John Root are giving a tour of Jackson Park - future site of the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The Park is desolate, muddy, cold, wet. How could they possibly build a world's fair here? And yet, Root - who is suffering from pneumonia - must convince the country's greatest architects to take on this great challenge. Will he succeed?

Have a listen!

The demo is performed by Jonathan Wagner, who wrote the music and lyrics.

Again, thank you to everyone who has donated thus far. And if you're considering making a gift today, please do! We have just 2 weeks to go and your help will be critical to our success!

~ Jenny Seidelman, Jonathan Wagner, and Richard Shavzin ~

      Incredible... I am only now having a chance to listen to the songs and I am blown away! Impressive lyrics, great music, perfect phrasing and voices... Ah, to be able to be there for the show... Alas, I shall have to wait for the CD.
