FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dan Fogelberg Musical launches Kickstarter on August 13
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (August 12, 2013) – Part of the Plan, a new original musical using the music and lyrics of the late, celebrated singer-songwriter,
Dan Fogelberg, turns to Kickstarter on the musician’s birthday, August 13, to finance a staged reading and a workshop. The goal of the campaign is to raise at least $50,000 in 30 days.To donate, go to http://goo.gl/KMTK2Q
Part of the Plan tells the tale of an adopted boy and the teenaged girl of privilege who is forced to give him up. The fictional story –written by Kate Atkinson, a writer and producer of independent film and stage, and Karen Harris, an Emmy-Award winning writer and producer – spans the boom times of post-World War II America, the social and sexual revolution of the 1960’s, and the political upheaval of the 1970’s. Victor Vanacore, a Grammy award-winning arranger, composer, and musical director, will arrange Fogelberg’s songs for the stage.
Atkinson and Harris are embarking on this stage of development to draw the attention of noted producers and regional theatres as a doorway to Broadway. “We knew that the richness of Dan’s music and lyrics would be a powerful and emotional foundation for our story,” says Atkinson. “There are millions of Fogelberg fans. The many we have heard from have been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive. Between Dan’s fans and our friends in film and television, Kickstarter became the most organic way to proceed,” adds Harris.
Donations to the Part of the Plan Kickstarter campaign will cover all costs associated with mounting a staged reading andworkshop, including:
- musical arrangements
- director, choreographer, and talent fees
- production elements (lighting, sound, stage craft, etc.)
- theatre and facilities for rehearsals and performances
Part of the Plan’s Kickstarter campaign will run through September 12, 2013.
