Starkid is one of the absolute best arguments for supprting independent art. The fact that the shows you're invested in can't get canceled by Big Daddy Streaming, the quality is always amazing, the love of the cast and crew doesn't get squeezed out by surprise budget reductions, the fact that since crowd funding provides almost all costs up front (plus the presence of voluntary digital ticket/in person tickets for additional funding), the fan base can access the full material for whatever cost they can contribute (even if you can give nothing monetarily, you will still get a professionally shot version of the material eventually, without surprise fees or password crackdowns, AND with captions/completely accesible regardless of location). The same goes for Tin Can Bros, Shipwrecked, and all the other associated theater and web series companies loosely connected to Starkid. Like, I cannot believe the amazing content provided to us at the same level as Broadway or streaming services with billion dollars at hand, with almost none of the catches that come with others. Like, I cannot believe that we get all of this right at our hands.

Since apparently some people genuinely haven't heard this yet??
(And that's okay! We're all here to keep each other informed!)
Six of the seven Tinlightenment projects will include DIGITAL TICKETS (and the one that doesn't is just the London version of an earlier project that will have digis. The only difference will be that the London performance will have a somewhat different and likely smaller cast)!
One of those projects is a new musical, the bread and butter of this fandom! Gross Prophets! Like Spies Are Forever and the fourteen Starkid musicals! And like those it will be put up ON YOUTUBE FOR FREE for everyone to watch as many times as they want!
One of their other projects, the comedy panel gameshow The Great Debate, will be put up ON YOUTUBE FOR FREE as well!
Starkid and TCB have a grand history of making the most accessible quality theatre out there, and Tinlightenment will be no exception! So if your only reason for not backing is that you think you won't be able to see the shows, think again!
And then think about it some more--what would have happened if only people in LA had backed TGWDLM and it hadn't met its goal?
