Help Juliana fund Writers' Residency in Italy!

Hi friends!

My name is Juliana Wheeler, and I am an actor, writer, and musician. I have been performing professionally my entire adult life, and for the past five years, I've been part of a New York City based theatre company called Thicket and Thistle, that writes, produces, and performs new musicals. This year I have been selected to be part of a month-long writers' residency in Naples, Italy, through the Arquetopia Foundation. I will spend the month of April, 2023, in a community of artists, developing a brand new musical based on the character of Lady Macbeth. The idea for this project came to me in a dream during the pandemic, and has been a passion and obsession ever since. This will be the first time I strike out on my own as a musical writer, and my goal is to return to the U.S. with a completed draft of my musical. I am so excited about this opportunity and this project, but I need your help! Although room and board are included in the program, the program itself is not free, nor is airfare included. So I need to raise funds to cover these costs, so I can bring my dream to life! Any support is greatly appreciated!
