​For almost a decade, Mija has thrived on the generosity of its community. From that first garage read-through in Eugene,

Oregon, to workshops in New York, Los Angeles, Guatemala, and, just last month, at Paramount Theatre outside Chicago, every milestone has been powered by people who believe this story matters. We believe this Central-American family story about belonging, resilience, choice, and community deserves to be heard, especially when it’s told by a women-led, bilingual creative team.

WHY AN EP & WHY NOW?

Our recent Paramount workshop showed us once again how deeply Mija moves audiences and how urgently the music needs to be preserved. So, this August, out brilliant songwriters Anna Gilbert and Gaby Moreno will head into a professional studio to record the show’s first EP — a six-track collection pairing audience favorites with brand-new songs heard only in Guatemala and at Paramount.

​

We’re also thrilled to share that several celebrated Latin artists are joining us in the studio, including:

• a global vocalist whose signature hit boasts billions of streams, and

• multiple Grammy-winning musicians!

Capturing these voices singing Mija's music will create the strongest calling card we’ve ever had, one that can open doors to producers nationwide and keep Mija’s momentum building toward a full production.

JOIN US!

To secure every guest artist and musician, we’re raising $15,000. Every contribution, large or small, covers studio time, fair wages for players, essential travel, and post-production costs.

If Mija’s journey moves you, please consider a gift or share this page with a friend who loves new theatre. Your belief in us keeps this bilingual, intergenerational story moving toward the stage.

With gratitude y amor,
Anna Gilbert, Gaby Moreno, Rebecca Touriño Collinsworth & Evynne Hollens 
Creative Team, Mija
