I am reaching out to you because I am taking 12 girls to perform in New York for a week staring April 22nd, but we encountered a last minute emergency with our visit. Our original host has just cancelled the main event we were due to perform at due to the ill-health of one of the presenters. Our visas, flights and accommodation are already arranged, booked and paid for, so we are now looking for a last minute audience/s.
Can you, or anyone you know or are connected to, help us? We are now urgently seeking alternative performance/sharing opportunities.
Our students have worked so hard on this project for over a year, the performance of the whole show that they gave in December blew the audience away. These New York 30min performed presentations are a chance for them to share their achievement and the themes of the musical with the international audience it was intended for.
The story contains a strong feminist theme, promotes central messages of leadership, philanthropy and service, has a message of global healing and has been inspired by a Korean female historical figure from Jeju Island.
We are looking for audiences and spaces. In terms of venue, we don’t need much in terms of space or technical bits and pieces.
We’ve got 12 girls performing songs and limited movement to a sound track – any kind of presentation space would work. If we had a stage it would need to be at least 6×4. Half decent acoustics would be a bonus.

Here’s hoping.
