Thanks for the proposal and the teaser video, I liked it. Here's a summary I've had with a few other folks:
As others have mentioned, I don't think it's feasible that this prop onboard 200+ active members. We maybe have 100 active members as it stands, and that's fine. The best thing we could do is attract funding.
We should shift our goals away from "how do we onboard as many new members as possible" to "how can we ensure our treasury has enough consistent funding so we can continue to fund cool ideas".
Perhaps one path towards this goal is if nouns is okay with funding art for arts sake. In this case it doesn't really matter if your play onboards new members -- we would want to support it because we want to support the best art possible, regardless of how "nounish" it is. I actually think the play is better if there's absolutely no requirement that it focus on nouns. "Sponsored by nouns" would be enough. The idea would be that nouns gets some sort of social capital for having funded good art. I actually think the better approach in this case is not to have the play (or the art more generally) have to have noggles, or be about nouns, as then it has a better chance of having broad appeal and thus a higher chance nouns can start building social capital for being a purveyer of great art.
The argument then follows that by building brand / social capital for nouns through funding the best possible art, maybe we can attract larger donors who are willing to help fill our treasury because they like what we've funded and curated and would like to see nouns continue to serve that role.
Maybe like the a24 approach. Every film is not "a24 this, a24 that". The films themselves are not obsessively jamming a24 down your throat. Yet, they've become synonymous with a certain indie cool aesthetic in film such that people will seek out films just bc a24 produced it. Nouns could be the same. Not every piece of art needs to be SUPER NOUNISH and in fact it's probably better if they are not. Rather, over time nouns builds up social capital and a reputation for having funded great art such that if a new piece drops that is funded by nouns, our following of fans would want to see or appreciate the art sheerly because they trust our taste.
