DAMAGED FURNITURE Kick-Starts To Off-Broadway!

The producers of the critically-acclaimed Damaged Furniture are launching a $100,000 Kickstarter Campaign to bring the production and original cast from L.A. to Off Broadway. The play deals with the trajectory of LA actor Doug Elling, who, after a shocking furniture accident that claims the life of his Uncle Max, must work in his family business in Brooklyn where he is not only confronted with his dysfunctional family, but what lead him to become an actor in the first place.

The funds raised from the campaign will help: Fly the cast, director, playwright / producer to and from New York; provide 2 months housing, per diem and transportation, secure a suitable Off-Broadway Theater for 4 weeks of performances in mid-2019, establish a rehearsal space for 4 weeks of rehearsal and hire experienced theater professionals including lighting design, set design, sound design, video projection, costumes, hair and makeup, stage managers, backstage crew and all the essential personnel necessary to put on a successful production worthy of theater-savvy New York audiences.

Crowd funding donors (A.K.A. "DFF"s -Damaged Furniture Family) will have the chance to not only get up close and personal with our amazing cast and playwright, but they'll receive super fun and LIMITED EDITION perks (which won't be offered after the campaign run), in exchange for their support.

Production, Autographed Cast Photos, Personalized Cast Audio Messages and for the more generous donors, a Character Name Change, an Original Painting by Mo Collins, Front Row Seats, Orchestra or even any time tickets, Backstage Passes, Rehearsal viewing, VIP Opening Night Gala AND even a private gathering specially for their $10,000 prize bundle!
