Theater People Podcast Launches KickStarter to Fund New Season

After 18 months of successful broadcasting, the popular Theater People Podcast has launched a KickStarter campaign to help fund their new season. Having interviewed Broadway greats from Lin-Manuel Miranda to Laura Osnes (twice) to Celia Keenan-Bolger, the Theater People Podcast is one of the most influential and inspiring connections that many theatre fans have with their idols. The podcast has become a valuable resource for students, individuals working to build a career in the performing arts, and theater lovers across the world.

The podcast's creators have covered all startup and producing costs over the show's first 18 months, now they are hoping to raise $5,000 to continue delivering the podcast for another year.

In return for donating, rewards include signed CDs from Eden Espinosa, the opportunity for Lesli Margherita to record your outgoing voicemail message, the opportunity to promote your product or send a special message to our thousands of listeners via the podcast, and many others.

The campaign runs through May 28th, so donate now, and who knows, if they get more than the $5,000 goal, maybe that will help guarantee another 18 months! I've donated, now it's your turn.
