It's me, Jake, and my birthday is 3 weeks away! Instead of focusing on me and my age (we don't need to go there), we should focus on something else that really needs some attention and support: OpenStage Theatre & Company of Fort Collins, CO.

Theatre is a huge part of my identity and OST&C has played an instrumental role in my life. It has shaped me into an artist and gave me a community when I needed it most. And now it's time for me to give back to OpenStage.

As you may know, arts industries are taking a big hit thanks to the misguided current administration. OpenStage will face some obstacles in the near future - and it will overcome them!! OST&C has always been a driving force in community enrichment, offering an outlet to hundreds of artists and engaging thousands of audiences. Right now, the organization needs support from the community it has so diligently helped to create.

So for my birthday, don't give me anything, give a gift to OpenStage Theatre & Company. My wish is to raise $5,000 by May 14th at 11:59pm! WE CAN DO IT!

Thank you!!!!
