CHMS Presents Be More Chill
We are aiming to raise £1000 to put on CHMS's performance of Be More Chill at Theatre@41, Monkgate between the 4th and 6th of December 2025.
Jeremy Heere is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about “The Squip”, a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine, an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk? A hit on Broadway and in the West End, Be More Chill is based on the novel by Ned Vizzini, with book by Joe Tracz and music and lyrics by Joe Iconis.
This amateur production of BE MORE CHILL is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

A full list of cast, crew, and band can be found on our Instagram, @chms_wintershow. We will be posting lots of updates about tickets, behind-the-scenes, and more, so make sure you follow us and check out the links!
Where will the money go?
All the money donated will go directly into funding this zany musical! The donations will be used for costumes, set design, special effects, and so much more! The more donations we can get, the bigger and better the production can be!
Here at CHMS, many of our creative team invest in the show themselves, the cost of which is later reimbursed from the overall budget of the show, which our fundraising is a part of! Because some of this behind the scenes work continues after we have officially finished our run, we're giving you a few extra days to donate during show time, and we are extremely grateful if you decide to donate at any time!
Donating £10 or more gives you unique behind-the-scenes cast photos. For donations of £35 or more, we will incorporate our donor’s names into our set.
