History

Coatesville Cultural Society

In an ensemble theatre founded by my grandfather, in which my parents worked together. This became a safe haven and creative utopia for me with the connections that I had both to the art being cerated and the people I was creating it with. The study of the chorus, and the humor in Lyrics of Love and Laughter is where I fell in love with theater and the basis of my practice. The opportunity to be in plays that told powerful stories at a young age felt like a responsibility and an honor. It was different than the musicals I was experiencing in high school. This is what I want to offer youth today.

“The theater was created to tell people the truth about life and the social situation. ”
— Stella Adler

Dream Project, School of the Arts

One of the best ways to learn something is to teach it. As a lover of the arts, I want my passion to live on by contributing to an art school in my hometown.

Why: The idea really comes from the younger generation of my family and local community. I believe there is a richness in taking part in the creation of performing for a live audience, teaching it and studying it just scratches the surface, but it could be extremely beneficial to open minds.

Where: Coatesville. Ideally.

Who: The dream is for it to be for high school and college age, as like a peer mentoring concept. Coaches, will act as staff usually taking the leadership roles.
