Hello everyone. I hope 2026 is going great and that you and your family are in the best of health! As you may know, we have been hard at work developing Richard's 2011 album "Tiers" into a full-fledged musical. It is the story of our long romance! We had numerous readings of the script, co-written by Richard and our collaborator, writer/director Lindsey Hope Pearlman, at our home, then on June 23, 2025 held a concert/reading of "Tiers -- A Rock 'n' Roll Love Story" at The Green Room 42 in New York City, featuring five very talented young performers, backed by a crack band. The night was a resounding success! We got tremendous reaction from the crowd and are very encouraged to keep moving the project forward.

Putting together even a small production of a show is a huge task. It's not like working on an album, where we do almost all the work on our home studio. To do another, more realized concert/reading of the show will require a budget of $20,000-30,000. This would enable us to do a "29 hour read," which entails renting a rehearsal space, casting actors, musicians, director, etc., working intensively on the show until it starts to gel into a genuinely theatrical piece, culminating in a performance to which we would invite industry folks (as well as our contributors) who would hopefully get excited about it and take us to the next level. We would love to be able to move forward with the 29 hour read in the coming months.

We are asking for your financial support, ideally with tax deductible donations starting at $500-$1000. In return you will be invited to the finished performance resulting from the 29 hour read. For contributors of $5000 or above, we will treat you to dinner in the city that night plus you?ll get a shout-out from the actors onstage! Everyone who contributes more than $1,000 will have their name printed in the show's program. All who attend the show will receive "Tiers" swag, including exclusive t-shirts. As "Tiers" progresses, you will be kept in the loop about latest developments, invited to future performances and backstage meet-and-greets and festivities. Although at this early stage we can't offer any sort of profit participation, you will be among the first to know when we can!

"Tiers -- A Rock\ 'n' Roll Love Story" is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of "Tiers -- A Rock\'n' Roll Love Story" must be made payable to "Fractured Atlas": only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law
