Hello everyone!
I was recently accepted into Sight and Sound Theatres’ Conservatory class of 2022. I'm beyond thrilled! This has been a dream of mine for close to 10 years and I am extremely happy to tell you all about it. Only 10 students (uniquely, 11 for my particular class!) are accepted into this program. It’s so surreal to know I am one of them. In the conservatory, I will be taking classes to broaden my theatre skills, performing in a Sight and Sound production, as well as being discipled as a follower of Christ.
Here is a video trailer for one of my favorite S&S productions:
I am starting this fundraiser to ask for your help in getting me through this program. At the end of August, I will be moving across the country to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, near where the theatre is located. Covering living expenses, as well as tuition, will be a bit of a feat.
Please read on if you’re interested in learning about my future journey and considering becoming a part of it!
The Sight and Sound Conservatory
This program is a musical theatre training conservatory focused on coaching and investing in “the next generation of Christ-centered performing artists.” I will be attending the Sight and Sound Conservatory (SSC) for two years. In the conservatory, I'll be taking a lot of classes, including acting, voice, different types of dance, improvisation, discipleship, stage combat, and many more. I’ll even be taking a theatrical horsemanship class!
In addition to taking classes, I will also be performing in a professional Sight and Sound production, possibly alongside some of my teachers. The opportunity to put my education into practice onstage is so amazing and exciting!
Because of the huge time dedication of taking classes, rehearsing, and eventually performing up to 11 times per week, working a regular job will not be possible. This is why I’m asking for help in raising funds.

Cost
For the duration of this program, I will be paying for tuition, as well as housing/living expenses. This includes rent, gas, groceries, etc. Here is a brief breakdown of costs:
Tuition for the first year: $7,950
Monthly living for the first year (estimated): $900/monthly, $10,800 for the year
Total for the first year: $18,750
I have already worked and saved up for the first year of tuition cost. Currently, my goal is to save and fundraise for the first year of housing/living expenses: $10,000.
I am working as much as I possibly can, but I can’t do it by myself. By the grace of God and with the assistance of friends and family, I have faith this will happen.
You can donate here if you’d like, or you can reach out to me for Venmo, Paypal, or other options. Thank you so much!
About Me
Why am I going to this program? A valid question. It has been my dream and my calling for as long as I can remember to share the light of Jesus through the performing arts. I have been performing in musicals and plays on stage for over 10 years, but I have very little professional coaching/experience under my belt. This is an amazing opportunity to learn and grow in both a professional and Christ-centered environment.
I found out about Sight and Sound Theatres in 2011 when I saw my first production there: Noah. I was absolutely enthralled. The giant set, the 2,000+ seating theatre, the quality of performance, costuming, live animals, and mind-blowing special effects. But, what has hit me the hardest both times I have seen an S&S show is the incredible light and passion for God which shines through every performer. It’s really beautiful and emotional to witness. I have dreamed of being involved with them ever since. It is an honor to be able to fulfill this dream.
Here is a video of the SSC audition process for me!
I am more passionate about performing than any other hobby or job I’ve ever tried. It is my calling and the plan I have for my life.
In summary, this is the biggest adventure I’ve ever set out on. The financial, spiritual, and educational goals are all pretty huge. Performing is where I am at peak happiness. It would mean so much to me if you helped me reach this dream. If you cannot help financially, please consider offering your spiritual and emotional support which is just as valued.
Thank you so much for reading about my journey, it means so much to me. If you have any questions, please don’t wait to reach out to me.
God bless and much love!
