After what felt like endless conversations with friends and friends of friends (and herself) about the tales of seemingly anti-adult adulthoods, Courtney decided that these delightfully messy stories needed to be shared with the masses. She pitched the idea to Creative Producer, Lakia, and the pair joined forces to present Quarter Life Crisis as part of Sydney Fringe 2015.

The show is based on a collection of real experiences and aims to celebrate the hilarious, questionable and terrifying fumbling of ones 20s. A glorious time in ones life where bad decisions are often made in relation to love, health, career and finances. But damn it, these ‘bad’ decisions make the best stories.

Quarter Life Crisis will play at 107 Projects, Redfern, from Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 September 2015. For more information, and to book tickets, visit sydneyfringe.com.

How The Funds Will Be Used

All of the money donated will go toward venue hire and marketing.

Venue Hire

The lovely people of 107 Projects in Redfern have agreed to house us for the festival and we are super stoked to show our work at their fabulous venue. Quarter Life Crisis will be presented in a new space, The Platform, at 107 Projects. Help make our dreams of mass hangouts and story telling come true in this cosy corner of Sydney.

$670 will be used on venue hire and public liability insurance fees.

Marketing

Unfortunately Cate Blanchett couldn’t be in the production (we asked but she was a bit busy or something) so we feel as though there may be some people out there that don’t know about the show. To fix this, we need your help!

With your loving support we will be able to deliver the marketing campaign that we’ve been busting our guts on for the last few months. This will involve building a strong online presence, connecting with other Sydney based artists as well as hitting the streets of Sydney to distribute good old fashioned, printed marketing materials.

$330 will be used towards printed marketing materials, a promotional stall at Glebe markets and the development of our company website.

If you wanna be a pal and help get our baby off the ground we have the following gifts to say thank you...

The Challenges

Challenges

Both artists are originally from Queensland and they are excited to showcase their work to new audiences in Sydney. This, however, also means the duo are faced with a couple of challenges when it comes to building and reaching audiences in their new home town. CUE GENIUS MARKETING STRATEGY.
