Red Doghouse Productions, who debuted last year with their production of "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead ", will be producing this intimate musical, to be directed by Co-Founder, Yoni Weiss.

While performance dates and venues are still being set, the production will be in March of 2016, and will be the high school-age premiere of this musical.
Below is a breakdown of how the money we raise will be used:
$300 - The rights to perform the musical.
$400 - The rental materials required to perform the musical (Piano/Vocal scores, scripts).
$200 - Necessities for rehearsals, research and transportation (as needed).
$300 - Scenic elements, props, costumes.
