The first leg of the development journey for a musical is forging an idea into written words and music (idea-to-page). The second leg is trasforming the page into live performances before appreciative audiences.  This page-to-stage leg of the journey includes workshopping, script and song rewriting, music scoring, staged readings, production team recruiting, casting, set production, rehearsals, and finally, a staged production in a theater.  Each successive step comes with increasing costs that may total more than $400,000 by the time the curtain is raised for the first showing at a small venue.  This first showing is the gateway to commercial investors, larger productions, and larger venues. Until then, it is self-funding, volunteered time, favors, small grants,  and donations that keep the project on track.

The Tribes USA team is dedicated to taking this unique, bold, exciting musical, and its urgent, unifying message from the page to the stage as soon as possible. Please help us meet our goal to open the first staged production at a community or college theater by May 2025, with an eye toward more and greater commercial production opportunities shortly thereafter.
