Kickstarter Launch

Dear Valued Community,

We want to invite you to join us on an adventure! 
It’s a mission that really matters to us, and we hope it will to you as well.

You’ve known us a long time, and in creating EnJoy Productions, you know we’ve spent many years working business to business, which is a different path than creating our dream projects. In envisioning events for Clients, our work is super creative and employs loads of artists, and we’ve had amazing successes: our company has created and performed with and for Teatro Zinanni, Cirque du Soleil, Bumbershoot and hundreds of nonprofits and corporations.

But now, we ARE creating a dream project. it’s time to create something original, something inspiring and beautiful - because the world needs it, our city needs it, we all need it. We have an opportunity to make an uplifting contribution, at a time when people are isolated and overwhelmed. It’s why we do what we do.

What’s the dream show? It’s a vision I had years ago, and it came alive during the pandemic as a clear response to the human need for connection. Now the time is right to bring it to life, and we need your help, because this production literally won’t happen without our community’s investment. Today is the first day of our Kickstarter campaign, and we really need you to join us as we get the ball rolling. 

Venus & the Vixens: Games of Love is an interactive rock circus musical based on the iconic love story of Cupid and Psyche and accompanied by a kick-ass all-female rock band, with food and drink! Its world premiere is May 30 - June 16, and many pieces of this epic production have already come together - the songs are written, the script is being dramaturged, and the cast is ready to roll.  It is our hope that Venus & The Vixens: Games of Love is going to redefine the meaning of immersive, interactive theater and forever imprint itself on the Seattle performance art scene.

We have been committed for over 30 years to paying artists living wages, and supporting nonprofits. Right now, our most significant challenges are paying our cast and crew the wage they deserve, and paying SANCA and Emerald City Trapeze to rent their amazing venue for rehearsals and production. 

Our Kickstarter campaign runs Feb 1 - 27, and we need to raise $60,000 to complete the funding for Venus. Ticket sales will cover only 24% of the cost of this production. It’s very different from working for a corporation! We’re hiring 35 artists and working harder than we ever have to create this show - A show that we will ALL be proud of.

So here’s the ask: I’d like you to please consider backing the campaign today at any level from $250 - $1,000. Or more, if you’re able and inspired! You'll receive some incredible rewards for your support, as well as the assurance that you are making quantifiable investment in this production. It’s literally being generated by and with our community, and you’re a big part of that.

With deep respect, and sincere gratitude for considering this. You have my deep respect, and thank you for your time!
