Miles to Manhattan: A Night of Cabaret- A Fundraiser for Chris Mathis

This story, which explores grief, love, and learning how to move forward when the road feels uncertain, will receive six performances in Manhattan. Even more special, I’ll be taking this journey alongside Chattanooga actress Cortney Warner, who will be performing in the production.

While this opportunity has my name on it, it truly belongs to the community that helped make it possible. Every director, actor, mentor, audience member, friend, family member, and fellow artist who has encouraged me along the way has played a part in this moment. Chattanooga has been my artistic home, and I am proud to carry a story born here to one of the largest theatre hubs in the world.

As exciting as New York is, our goal isn’t simply to take Unreached Things there, it’s to bring it back home. We hope to learn, grow, build new connections, and return to Chattanooga with an even stronger production to share with the community that has invested so much in us.

We’re currently raising funds to help make this opportunity possible. If you’d like to support us, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter the size, helps two Chattanooga artists represent our city and share local storytelling with a wider audience. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post is a meaningful way to support the journey as well.

Thank you for believing in local artists, new work, and the power of theatre to bring people together. We are honored by your support and excited to take Chattanooga with us to New York, and then bring that experience back home!”
