Roller Soul - A Theatrical Horror Play on Skates

Hello!

I'm fundraising for Roller Soul, a theatrical, roller skating, dark comedy extravaganza coming to Cafe Istanbul January 12-14, 19-21 in New Orleans. Roller Soul tells the story of a demonic, lonely succubus that becomes enamored with a roller skating community and falls for a magnetic, egocentric skater. Will the two star-crossed lovers be able to find a way to be together despite that she is a monster? Or will their passion for skating save them both?

My love for theater and skating has created its own monster. Skating became my focus when I started rollerskating with the Santa Cruz Derby Girls in 2014. I also skated regularly at the famous 6th ave Golden Gate park circle in San Francisco on Sundays, a place that inspired a setting for the show. Shortly after I moved to New Orleans for nursing school I left derby behind, but the soul of skating stayed with me. I joined a weekly screenwriters group offered by Steven Esteb (louisianascreenwriter.com). During this time, I wrote Roller Soul as a screenplay. I have been involved in Aqua Mob, a local New Orleans theater group, for several years. Aqua mob is a water ballet group that showcases synchronized swimming, acting and ariel performances set against dystopian storytelling. My involvement inspired me to create Roller Soul. I received a BA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University and was recently accepted into the David Lynch MFA screenwriting program.

I'm fundraising for the venue space, paying actors/skaters, lighting, costumes, music and photography/filming. My goal is to promote and support the skating and artist community of New Orleans. My main moonlighting gig is being an ER nurse in Louisiana. Unfortunately, Louisiana is one of the lowest paying states for nurses. I'm humbly asking for donations for people who CAN put funds towards art. Low-income friends, please pass this along to the people you know that can support a project like this. Thank you!!! All donations will go entirely towards this project. Can't wait to see you at the show!!!
