Support laughter and lather in our community!
“Lather, Rinse, Repeat!”—a new musical comedy written by Dana Linn is South Whidbey’s latest Kickstarter project, running during the month of April. Linn, a long-time stage performer, has created vibrant, memorable, bewigged characters in a colorful, fast-paced theatrical show. The piece was workshopped with local actors a number of times during the summer of 2012 and, several revisions later, is ready for production. Two songs were performed to a full-house at WICA during Comedy Island’s Local Artist Night last spring and were met with thunderous applause.
The Kickstarter campaign will fund musician Linda Dowdell, who will arrange the music and get the piece ready to shop to theatres across the country. For more information—and guaranteed giggles—watch the video at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/846992597/lather-rinse-repeat-a-new-musical-comedy.
Dana, this is just too exciting. Congratulations on your success with this project. I’ll look forward to being in the audience for the finished product. Whidbey Island scores another great talent!

Thank you so much, Dot! All through the workshopping and revising process, and now the Kickstarter, I just keep believing in the laughter that people will enjoy once it’s up and running! We are smack in the middle of the Kickstarter and those with experience have warned me of the “lull” period, which sets in about now. So, thank you so very much for your kind words; they have buoyed me up! I appreciate that more than you know.
