Overview
Andrea Robinson and Richard Smith are about to launch a showcase for their brand new jazz musical Labrats. The synergy of this creative duo has resulted in a compelling dark comedy told with striking music and vivid characters - a new breed of show for ‘stage rats’ and lovers of musical theatre.
Labrats has 24 characters played by a cast of 12, most of whom are rangatahi from the greater Wellington region. The show will be brought to life as a sung/performed reading with a full cast and a 13-piece orchestra at Gryphon Theatre on the 15th and 16th of August this year.
Showcase performances do not, as a rule, have a box office income so we’re asking for your support to help cover the costs, enabling this new creative work to be staged. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $2,220
Project Updates
We're almost there, thanks to you ...
What an amazing start to this endeavour! Many thanks to those of you who've already helped bring this brand new musical to life. (Ngā mihi nunui ki a koutou!)
As of today, we're 88% of the way there. Astonishing! What a huge boost to morale! It's a tough time for artists who're seeking sponsorship or funds for projects such as this through conventional channels, but amazing to think it's you, our community, who've got in behind us with your support. Thank you for your generosity and for your faith in us.
Rehearsals are underway for our musicians, singers and actors so it's an exciting time as we approach 15 August, the opening night for our first performed/sung showcase.
If you're curious, please check out our website or find us on Facebook or Instagram. Hopefully you'll be inspired to chip in and help us attain our target or even exceed it. (Thanks also to the team at Boosted for your help.)
