WHAT ARE WE RAISING MONEY FOR?

All donations will be used to cover production fees and compensate artists working on our upcoming production of Icons Only by Danielle E. Moore, set to make its NYC debut on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 9:30pm at The Laurie Beechman Theatre in Midtown, Manhattan.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Icons Only examines the lives of multiple extraordinary women of the 20th century and beyond through the lens of musical theater songwriting. Each song takes the perspective of a different changemaker on the verge of her biggest breakthrough - which, at the time the song is sung, could also be her biggest future failure- to unearth unexpected similarities across different generations of boundary-breakers.

The piece explores cultural influencers ranging from Ella Fitzgerald, whose international success broke boundaries for performers of color and exploded stereotypes about the appetite for jazz; to Audrey Hepburn, who served as a spy in the Dutch resistance before becoming an award-winning actress and humanitarian; record-breaking pilot Grace Huntington; boundary-pushing Disney concept artist Mary Blair; and even characters inspired by multiple figures in the women-dominated pop sphere of the 2000s from the musical Crossover (Named to Philadelphia Inquirer’s “Theater to See this Week").

With songs that range in style from Latin jazz to rock, bossa nova, country, and more, Icons Only reveals untold stories of women unknown and revered alike to put audience members in their (often fabulous) shoes.
