"I used to perform to spite my fear. Now I perform despite my fear"
- That's a Camille Thomas original quote for ya.
Hey everyone, I have been accepted into the Williamstown Theatre Festival's Acting Apprenticeship (I had been praying so hard about this, that I started crying at work when I found out).
What is the Apprentice Company at the Williamstown Theatre Festival?
"The WTF Apprentice Program is a hands-on fully immersive introduction to the world of professional theatre during the summer season of the Tony Award-winning Williamstown Theatre Festival" (*).
From June 14th through August 19th I will be working with and observing a community of established theatre professionals through master classes and numerous WTF jobs.
P.S. STERLING K BROWN was an actor in their non-equity acting company! I will walk the same ground Sterling K. Brown walked on!
I will also have the opportunity to audition for Festival productions .
Why do I want to join the Apprentice acting company at WTF?
I have been acting seriously since the 11th grade and my artistic journey has been amazing. Along the way I self-published a children's book, did nonprofit theatre and dance work in Ethiopia, devised an original theatre social justice theatre production at East Lansing Highschool, and began performing my poetry ( one of which I used to submit to this program). I believe this is the next step in my adventure which will allow me to position myself with the best possible opportunities before I graduate in May 2019.
What will the funds be going towards?
The approximate total is $4,250 representing housing, a full meal plan and all of the professional development workshops.
I am also going to try and get college credit for this apprenticeship
And finally
Here is a link to check out the Williamstown Theatre Festival if you want more information

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this if you cannot afford to donate please share this page and remember to support your local artists!
This is how happy I will be if I reach my goal!
