HELP OUR NEXT PROJECTS!

Hello everyone! Thank you for backing Standing On A Nail a year ago. WIth your support, we went on to two successful productions, both of which were sell-out hits. You made dreams come true and the cast and I are so grateful. 

We have now moved on to producing two new LGBTQ+ works called Two Come Home and Spit It Out. They are an exciting and edgy drama and comedy respectively and are not to be missed. We have been invited to perform at the Lakeside Theatre, Brighton Fringe, and Pinch of Vault Festival but we need your support! (Tickets are on sale now for all three locations)

If you are able, please visit our CLICK page and consider supporting. You'll be helping not one play this time, but two. Furthermore, University of Essex has agreed to match our funding for the first 500£ donated. So really, your donation is worth twice as much! 

Thank you all again. Hope to see you at the next shows.

WE DID IT! (And a few updates)

Holy crap! We ended up raising 1,365 pounds. I'm speechless. Truly. You all made this play happen and my cast and I are going to make sure it's jawdropping. (...deathdropping? werk.)

A few cool updates to share! We had our first in person rehearsal this weekend and... let's just say I cried a few times. It was absolutely amazing to be working in the studio with the actors. They're incredible. I was going to attach rehearsal photos here but this update thingey won't let me. So you'll need to follow @soanqueerhorror to see them as we post them. ;D

We also just had a technical meeting and put the flats on stage. Bare in mind: this is bare bare bare bare bones. There will be PLENTY of set dressing. This was for us to get a sense of the general space. However, I thought I would share the image with you all to build some hype. 

There's a new poster for the show created by the amazing @joeeasonart (who is also playing Owen in the show). Please give him a follow (and our showpage @soanqueerhorror)

Lastly, box office is now up and live!!! Visit https://lakesidetheatre.org.uk/events/standing-on-a-nail/ to get yours. (Bare in mind, many of you already have comp tickets for donating to this project. Share the link anyway with your friends and family!)

Thanks for making this play come to life! Stay spooky! Lots of love.

WE DID IT!!!

We did it! We reached the fundraising goal! Thank you to everyone who helped make this project come to life. This *literally* was impossible without you all. 

And more shockingly, we still have twelve days to go! Please continue to share this project with everyone you know. The more money we raise, the more the actors and crew can be paid, and the production has more room to shine. 

In other exciting news... We have a cast now!!! Stay tuned on our Instagram and Facebook (@soanqueerhorror) for more updates. We'll have lots of photos to share with you all soon.
