Moonshot: Help Launch the Gay Love Story We Actually Deserve
If you remember the delightfully bold Camp Morningwood: A Very Gay Naked Musical Comedy, then you already know Marc does not create forgettable theater. He tells stories that let our community laugh, feel seen, and walk out of the theater a little taller.
Now he is back with Moonshot: A New Musical Rom Com, a musical that centers something we deserve more of onstage: joy.
The show follows Ryan and Wes, rival college baseball players from very different worlds who form an unexpected connection that challenges everything they thought they knew about identity, competition, and love. Set against the charged backdrop of Midwestern college life, Moonshot celebrates ambition, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to be fully yourself.
But before any musical gets its standing ovation moment, it needs believers.
Marc and his team are raising funds for a professional staged reading in 2026, a crucial step that allows the creative team to refine the script, pay performers, secure rehearsal space, and prepare the show for future workshops and industry presentations. Just paying the actors alone requires about $3,500, with a minimum of $250 per artist. Supporting this phase means supporting working LGBTQ+ creatives directly.
Giving levels make it easy to step in wherever feels right:
First Base – $25 helps cover scripts and rehearsal supplies.
Second Base – $50 supports music prep and technical needs.
Third Base – $125 directly funds an artist stipend.
Sliding Into Home – $250 helps secure venues and production support.
The Moonshot – $1,000 earns you a Co-Producer credit and special program recognition.
All donations are fully tax-deductible, but more importantly, they help move a joyful queer story from page to stage.
This is how queer theater thrives. Not by waiting for permission, but by showing up for each other. When you support Moonshot, you are investing in artists, expanding representation, and helping bring a love story to life that audiences are ready to embrace.
If you have ever wanted to say, “I helped make that show happen,” well… here is your moment.
