We kicked off out Setting Sail campaign by releasing our version of the traditional shanty “South Australia”. We raised over $15,000 to fund our development and reading process on the Seed & Spark platform.

February 2024

March 2024 : London

Our team traveled to London to work with our writer, Selena Seballo to finalize our music and script. We also explored ship docks, clipper ships, maritime, and heritage museums to make sure our story is as authentic as possible!

June 2, 2024 : Philadelphia Reading

We had a first rehearsal and reading process for The Chequerboard Watch. We rehearsed for four days with extremely talented actors and musicians who breathed life into the characters, story, and music for the very first time. We then shared our story with over a hundred and fifty people at The Plough and the Stars in Philadelphia, PA.

December 2024: New York City 29 Hour Industry Reading

We are looking forward to implementing everything we learned in Philly in our upcoming 29 hour reading this December at AMT Theater in New York City.
