 Happy Holidays and Happy New Year

from The Muse of Fire Project! 

We have had a wonderful year and we’re excited to begin again on January 14 with ten new kid playwrights from different neighborhoods around Chattanooga! 

Look for shows at The Downtown Public Library on April 12 and 13, 2013!

Hit the Button and Help us raise $20,000 to keep TMOFP programming FREE for kids.

Hit the DONATE button above to make a tax-deductible year-end contribution*.  Your donation helps provide ten 2.5 hour classes including materials to ten kids from all around Chattanooga. They’ll work with adults to write ten original short plays, then your money helps us fully produce these plays – including lights, music, costumes, sets and props. Over twenty theater artists and good-hearted souls come together to make these kids voices heard in front of a live audience of nearly 100 people per show.  But we can’t do it without you!

You can help! Hit the Button, help us continue the work we do!

Thank you!

Stevie Ray, Kate and all The Musers!

November 10, 2011

We have one class left. All the plays are supposed to be written by next Wednesday.  Some kids are very close to being finished and will have no trouble, others will need extra one-on-one sessions. I wonder if I am doing a decent job of helping them get to the finish line. Are they really [...]

Here we go again…

September 22, 2011

The night after opening night is hardest for some.  It is it’s own peculiar brand of challenge.  The build up of excitement and the adrenaline rush that comes with a first performance is what a lot of people thrive on in the performing world.  You got through it, hopefully with grace and beauty, and you [...]

Oh For a Muse of Fire….

August 7, 2011

Oh for a muse of fire that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention!…  A Lion Bank.  A scratched video game CD.  An unintended belly flop in front of a bunch of people.  An asthma attack.  The Ice Cream Truck Lady.  A Dream… Inspiration.  Launching pads. It’s funny and wonderfully surprising what kids find and [...]

July 1, 2011

It has been nearly a year since I moved to Chattanooga with my family from Washington Heights in the northern part of Manhattan.  “Upstate Manhattan” we like to call it.  Now I am on a mountain in Georgia.  The view I had in New York was nice – the New Jersey Palisades, Hudson River, the [...]
