Celebrating 250 Years of American Liberty through Independent Theatre

Support the founding of a conservative community theatre in Mid Missouri — Curious Parodox Productions.  We will be kicking off with a live 2026 production of 1776 to honor America’s semiquincentennial in Mid Missouri and a closing performance in our dream venue - outdoors on the grounds of the Missouri State Capitol.


📜 Full Campaign Description

🎉 A Bold Vision for 2026

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States in July 2026, I am launching an independent, non-woke community theatre committed to artistic integrity, historical honesty, and individualist values.

Our inaugural production will be the celebrated musical 1776, brought to life by local talent in a meaningful venues in Mid Missouri and a closing performance — our dream location: outdoors on the Missouri Capitol grounds complete with a fireworks finale with our orchestra and cast.

This will be more than a performance — it will be a proud, dignified artistic celebration of liberty, reason, and the revolutionary spirit of America’s Founders.


🏛️ Why a Non-Woke Theatre?

Modern theatre spaces are increasingly overtaken by ideological agendas. This project aims to offer a clear alternative — a space where:

  • Excellence and truth matter more than politics.
  • The arts serve the individual mind, not the collective ideology.
  • Performers and audiences alike are free to experience art without moral censorship or historical revisionism.


🔧 What the Funds Will Support

Before we can raise the curtain, we must raise the foundation. Your donation will help cover:

  • Legal Fees: Forming a Missouri-based nonprofit and applying for IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status
  • Filing Costs: State incorporation and federal tax exemption paperwork
  • Startup Infrastructure: Website, branding, rehearsal space planning
  • Production Planning: Licensing for 1776, securing a cast and director, venue inquiries (including the grounds on Missouri State Capitol)

All funds will be deposited into a dedicated organizational account once the nonprofit is legally established.


💰 Is My Donation Tax-Deductible?

We are currently in the process of forming the nonprofit and applying for 501(c)(3) status. While donations are not yet tax-deductible, once the IRS approves our status, donations made after our formation date may become retroactively tax-deductible.

All donors will be updated as soon as this status is confirmed.


🎯 Our Goal

We aim to raise $7,500 to cover legal formation, IRS filing fees, planning expenses, and to begin our path toward producing 1776 in summer 2026 — a performance that can stand as a powerful statement of American values.

If we exceed our goal, additional funds will go toward early production costs, script licensing, and audition coordination.
