Hey SK backer fam–💕

📝 The SURVEYS are in, 🎁 REWARDS are in production, 🎞 the NPMD pro-shot is currently on the cutting room floor, being edited for your future viewing pleasure and SK Labs, 🚀 SPACE BABY is currently in pre-production. 🔥🔥

We've been working hard to get these rewards juuust right. The SK sweats are currently in production with Ann Arbor Tees, and we’ve been spending the last months finalizing prototypes of the other rewards. Once the final production of the apparel is done, you will get a notification from BackerKit to lock in your addresses and we’ll ship you everything. Thank you for your patience as we do our due diligence to make sure the rewards are “totally awesome”. Below are some samples of our sunnies and fannies when we were finalizing them for production. 

Super cool right?

We loved the sunnies, but the sample color was a little too gold/green than we were wanting. The logo needed a little lift too.

Digital rewards are still coming down the pipeline later this summer! We're still working out scheduling (for things like the Rewatch Livestream!), so we'll get you a more concrete update once that all settles! But once they're ready, you'll get an email from your BackerKit survey, where you'll get your download and watch links.

If you're receiving one of the demo albums as part of your rewards, you'll get an email once they're ready to be downloaded from your BackerKit survey. You can expect the VHS Christmas Carol album later this month and the Nerdy Prudes album after the complete cast recording comes out! (We do not have a release date yet, but we will let you know when we do!)

Hallelujah! 🙏NPMD is alive and well. With your help, StarKid filmed a pro-shot version during the run of the show. That footage is currently being edited and perfected with the goal of a release in late summer or early fall. Perfect timing to see your favorite Hatchetfield characters run for their lives...or take some. 🪓

Our intergalactic musical odyssey begins! Our intrepid space captains, Jaime Lyn Beatty, and Curt Mega have begun the voyage to boldly go where no StarKid has gone before by creating a musical anthology variety show! They have begun assembling the Episode One space crew, meeting with artists, developing stories, and creating the aesthetic and tone for this weird and wild musical odyssey. They are deep in pre-production, with lift-off/production/filming beginning this summer. 🪐👶

We’ve begun setting things in motion for our Sisyphean play, though the work has not felt Sisyphean at all! Tammy Babich and Corey Dorris have been talking about the parameters of how we’re going to do the reading, while Corey Lubowich has been hard at work on the script using the Tammy, Corey, and Nick Lang as a creative sounding board. More to come, but for right now it’s coming along swimmingly! Also, for shits and giggles, Corey also used AI to generate a concept image of the office the show takes place in! Check that out below. But look closely at the computers: they don’t make sense! 💻

Ok, that's it for now!
xo,
