Nick Cearley, recently seen at, and soon to return  to, Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati in NEXT TO NORMAL needs your help.

His one-man musical, AND THEN I WROTE A SONG ABOUT IT, is slated to open in July at the Marjorie S Deane Little Theatre. Off Broadway. They had an unfortunate incident happen with a major investor and have been set back a bit. However, all the funds have been raised but what looks to be the final $15,000, so the producers have decided to start a kickstarter to raise the final amount through fundraising. Nick is trying to get the word out because literally, if the final amounts are raised on Kickstarter, dreams come true for alot of people.

Here is the link to the Kickstarter page. You can find a video preview and more information below. Donations can be as little as $1. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

About The Carnegie: The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a multidisciplinary arts venue serving the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. Over the course of the past ten years The Carnegie has “morphed” from a grassroots gallery with an education component into an all-inclusive arts organization offering professional theatre, art exhibitions showcasing the best of local and regional artists, and a comprehensive arts education program.

The Carnegie is home to the Carnegie Galleries, comprised of more than 6,000 square feet of gallery space where emerging and established artists exhibit in multiple shows throughout the year; the Eva G. Farris Education Center, which provides arts education to thousands of children, many of whom are at or below the poverty level; and the newly renovated 465-seat Otto M. Budig Theatre, which offers an affordable theatre space for local, up-and coming and established production companies and is home to The Carnegie’s Theatre and Concert Series. The Carnegie is the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.

The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center receives ongoing operating support from ArtsWave, Kenton County Fiscal Courts, the Kentucky Arts Council and the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. / US Bank Foundation.
