Update #5: Because of you!

Posted on May 15

To Parallel Exit's amazing backers:

A quick note to update you on how your support has had an impact on Parallel Exit.

Because of you, we traveled to the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference this past January.

We presented our show EXIT STAGE LEFT to presenters from all over the country.

Because of you, the results have been incredible.

Not only did Parallel Exit land an amazing new agent, we put together an entire season of touring for 2012-2013.

Parallel Exit will be traveling all over the country, making stops at the Segerstrom Center, the Lackland Center for the Arts, and the Emelin Theatre.  Here at home, we'll perform with the City Parks this summer and at Symphony Space this fall.  

And that's just the beginning.

Because of you, Parallel Exit made contact with over 50 presenters who have expressed interest in bringing us to their theatres.  

Because of you, Parallel Exit's future is very bright.

Thank you once again for all your support.  We look forward to seeing you on the road!

Sincerely,

Mark Lonergan

Artistic Director

Update #4: Thank you all!

Posted on December 26

Hello backers,

Hoping you are all having a wonderful holiday season.

I just wanted to say thank you again to all of you for backing Parallel Exit's performance at the IPAY Conference in Austin, Texas.

As of yesterday, we reached our goal, and our project will be funded entirely.

As you know, this project will allow Parallel Exit to perform in front of over 100 presenters of children's and family theatre from all over the world.  It will help us connect with these presenters and launch a tour to multiple cities, allowing us to bring joy and wonder to children everywhere we go.

Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to us. We look forward to sharing  the rewards with you all!

Sincerely,

Mark Lonergan

Artistic Director

Update #3: Bringing magic to a child.

Posted on December 9

Thanks again to all our supporters who have joined the campaign!

Sending Parallel Exit to Austin isn't just a nice gesture.  We're not just looking for a warm place to hang out in January.

Sending Parallel exit to Austin helps bring magic to a child.

Austin is hosting the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference.  This conference is attended by presenters from children's theatres and festivals from around the world.  Parallel Exit's performance at this conference will allow these presenters to see our work for the very first time.

This connection will lead to presenting the simple magic of Parallel Exit to children all over the world.

Parallel Exit thanks you, and the children we reach will thank you.  You are literally helping bring magic to a child.

Enjoy this video of a brand new tap routine we have created just for this presentation.

And thank you again for your continued support!

Update #2: A brand new act!

Posted on November 21, 2011

Hello backers,

We wanted to share a very special video with you.

This past month, Parallel Exit created a brand new act as an encore to our show EXIT STAGE LEFT.  

It answers that age-old question: "How Could Red Riding Hood?"
