Send a Playwright to the Festival


Anyone who has been following my journey knows how hard I have been working. I do not want to pass this opportunity up. So, in an effort to get myself to this amazing event, I have created a Fundraiser through Gofundme. 

A pre-thank you to anyone who has a few extra dollars to spare towards my trip.

I have a few months to raise all the funds, though I am hoping to get the money for the plane ticket soon, so that I can confirm that I will be able to be in attendance. I broke down the basic costs needed, as well as what the Play Lab entails on the fundraising page itself:

Play Festival Acceptance

I had the best news today! A new play I submitted to a festival was accepted! The catch is that I have to pay my way there which is already tricky enough for a starving artist, but when it's on the other side of the country...?

It won't be the first opportunity I've had to turn down. But this was such a big deal for me that I am going to research what that cost would look like. I have a month to render a final yes or no.

But it is really cool that I got in. It was unexpected.
