A yellow and black badge celebrating the Chicago Reader's Best of Chicago Award, awarded to The Fly Honey Show.

I first partnered with The Fly Honeys in 2022 to produce the marketing campaign for their first live show since 2019, relaunching a seasonal production that had garnered local legend status for a decade. Thousands of new audience members and long-time Fly Honey fans packed the house for three nights at Thalia Hall during Pride weekend—one of the most competitive weekends of the year for producers of independent and queer events. The buzz we generated and the new audiences we gained set the company’s course for growth each year until their finale season in 2025.

I produced campaigns each season that generated significant media coverage, social platform growth, and ticket sales, proving that, in Chicago, DIY grit has mainstage power.

The Fly Honeys were founded in 2010 by Erin Kilmurray and produced year after year by a fearless team of artists, choreographers, dancers, designers, musicians, and producers. Over its 15-year run, it was consistently voted the best dance production in Chicago.
