Serena Phillip is a wonderful young artist and proud NYU grad making her way in her professional career. This summer, she's playing Juliet in Romeo and Juliet at the Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona, Minnesota. This role is a dream for many and Serena has spent the last several weeks bringing Juliet to life with so much grace and power. Unfortunately, due to the unexpected costs and eventual loss of her family's beloved dog, her parents are no longer able to travel to see her perform.

We (her fellow company members) are raising money so her parents can be there to witness this milestone moment. If you're an artist, an arts lover, or someone who understands how much it means to have your family in the audience - please consider sending a small donation. Just $5 or $10 will help a great deal.

Let's show Serena what the arts community and beyond can do when we show up for each other.
