0:00.0	Hey there, podcast listeners. We did it. Or really, I should say you did it. In just eight days, you got us to our
0:09.2	Kickstarter goal. We cannot begin to express our gratitude. Truly from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you so
0:15.5	very much. We cannot wait to bring you another year of theater people. We've already lined up some pretty stellar A-list guests.
0:22.6	We're already working on our next live show, which I can't give any details about yet, but is going to be epic.
0:27.6	I promise you.
0:29.6	So we have 16 days to go of our Kickstarter campaign.
0:31.6	We want to do just one stretch goal.

0:59.2	Eden Espinoza and Leslie Margarita, who've been friends forever, on the show at the same time.
1:04.0	Can you even imagine the shenanigans that would come of that? Or we could have the great
1:08.1	writing teams of Aaron's and Flaherty and Mark Schaman and Scott Whitman
1:11.0	or any combination of the Hamilton cast.
1:13.7	I mean, the possibilities are endless.
1:16.1	So that's it.
1:16.9	$800 more.
1:18.5	Our only stretch goal of this campaign.
1:21.2	If you enjoy our show and haven't backed us yet, now is the time.
