Hi everyone! As some of you know, I found out today that I have been accepted as a *potential* MFA in Theatre candidate at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY. My interview will be the weekend of March 3rd - March 4th and I need help with travel expenses, hotel fees, food, etc.
As is, the hotel that I will be staying at, the Hyatt, costs $159 per night; it is located 15 minutes from the campus and I will be staying there for 3 nights. In addition, flights that I am looking at are running around $350 round trip between OKC and NY; these numbers do not include taxes, food, or additional fees like cab services and whatnot.
I believe 100% that Sarah Lawrence is the best place for me as I continue my academic and theatrical journey and ask for any donation even if all that you can give is $5.00. Thank you to everyone for your past, present, and (hopefully) future support!
For those of you who don't know me,or are just curious as to why theatre or Sarah Lawrence, I believe that theatre is meant to create
positive change within communities whether they be in a school, a nursing home,
a prison, or a local community center in the middle of the poorest
neighborhoods. I believe that theatre is more than a source of entertainment –
it’s therapy, a grief counselor, a teacher, a conversation – a tool. I believe
that theatre should be accessible to everyone who has an interest in it
regardless of race, class, gender, or religion. I believe that the universe has
led me to this point because I am meant to do something amazing and I can do
that with an education from Sarah Lawrence College that is both
interdisciplinary and student centered.
Again, thank you for your time and prayers, good vibes, happy thoughts, blessings, smiles, etc.
