Chameleon Theatre, Ltd seeking producing partners (NYC)

Chameleon Theatre, Ltd.
Seeks Co-Producing Partners

A small but growing, New York City-based 501(c)3 non-profit, is seeking Co-Producers for its first commercial ventures through a “wholly owned” subsidiary.

Two of the shows we have been developing over the past few years are ready to go into production; our status will enable us to take advantage of the concessions made by the various theatrical unions to similar organizations, at least as we begin the process.

The partners will be chiefly responsible for fundraising, either in the form of tax-deductible cash and in-kind contributions, or as investments in the for-profit transfer. Based upon the amount of money each raises, he or she will receive a percentage of the net income of both shows.

“Anything for a Laff!” a 1930s Hollywood ‘Casting Couch’ Musical Comedy, will first be presented as a workshop—performed strictly for non-paying industry audiences to determine its viability—or under a Special Agreement with Actors’ Equity, to the general public, for a limited engagement, which will help defray some of the expenses involved. After that, we plan on moving the show either to Broadway or to another major market.

“Vacation Bible School: the Musical” was presented in October 2006 for 4 “souled-out” performances at the Kraine Theatre in New York City’s East Village; it has since been expanded from its original 45-minute running time to twice that length, with 3 additional songs, with the intention of moving it directly to a small-to-medium-sized Off Broadway theatre.

“This show has something to offend absolutely everyone: Catholics, Protestants of all denominations, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, atheists…liberals conservatives, reactionaries…men, women…straight, gay, undecided…and hamsters!

“It is also snort-out-loud-laughing, pee-in-your-pants-funny!”
