I’m fundraising because the arts are so important, especially in our current age. Summer Stock Austin is an education company that gives incredible opportunities to young artists to do professional work both on stage and behind the scenes. Your support means more support for the arts and young artists around Austin. For me, this show is the start of my professional performance career and a new chapter in my life. I'm now going to college for musical theatre and am working towards becoming a full-time professional performer. Theatre has helped me through the darkest parts of my life, dealing with my sexuality and gender identity, and now I have the opportunity to raise money for others who may be going through similar times. I hope I can count on your support!
