Support Jaye's Journey to BADA Acting Program

Hi! I am Jaye C. Frasher, a first-year MFA Grad Acting student at Wayne State University. I am beyond excited to share that I have been selected to attend the British American Drama Academy (BADA) Midsummer Program in Oxford this year. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deepen my craft and immerse myself in the world of Shakespeare while receiving top-tier conservatory-style training.

I’ve been passionate about acting ever since I was in third grade, and this program is a dream come true. I am truly grateful that God has given me this gift, and I would like to share it with the world. I'm not only doing this for myself, but for my city, Augusta. These are the people who raised me, cheered me on, and have and will always be a part of my village and journey. It's only right to do it for the 706 one good time. I desire to be one of the best actors out there, and attending this program will help me get one step closer to that goal. The skills I’ll gain in Oxford will give me the tools I need to sharpen my craft, and I can’t wait to return to my second year of graduate school sharper and more ready than ever.

The total cost for tuition, accommodations, and travel for this month-long program is $10,000, but I am only asking half of that. I am humbly asking for your help in making this dream a reality. You guys are my village, and I deeply appreciate your love and support. Any contribution, whether it’s $0.10 or more, will go a long way in helping me reach this goal. Even if you can't give, please share it with anyone. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on my growth as an artist, and I am forever grateful for your support.

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey!
