MTA Musical Theatre Training
Donación protegida
FINALLYYYY the day has come that I can say this… I got into drama school!!!!! Some incredible news in the midst of this pandemic, and news I have long awaited and worked tirelessly for. Over a Zoom audition (how bizarre) I have been accepted to train at the MTA on their prestigious Musical Theatre diploma course, commencing in October.
Anyone who knows me will know this has been my dream forever. Some of the most vivid memories of my childhood are centred around shows and performing, the earliest being chosen to play Whoops a Daisy Angel in Year 1 - a role I played with absolute conviction I’ll have you know. If I was to ask you what your wildest dream was - beyond all imagination - what would you say? Genuinely, what would it be? Mine would be to perform for a living. My heart is so happy onstage and if you know me I think you could attest to that.
With the good comes the bad, in that to attend this phenomenal school and receive the training I have long yearned for, I must fund the £32,000 fees with no government funding. The MTA is not linked with a university and therefore I cannot apply for a student loan in the same way other courses can. Yes. I know. BUT, and humour me here, if every one of my 1,481 Facebook Friends generously donated £20 (or £21.70 to be precise) I would make the amount in full. Believe me, I understand this is wishful thinking on my part. However if, by chance of incredible generosity, half, a third, or even a quarter of said friends donated anything possible, I would be in a much more promising position to be able to attend this school. If people kindly donated even £1, I’m £1 closer! If you could share it to reach your friends and family further afield, my chances are immediately increased.
We are living in such strange, difficult times. Everything is uncertain for everyone I know and the world is suffering every day. I'm hoping, by this point in the post, that you can appreciate that I simply have to continue as if we aren't in the middle of a global pandemic. Please believe me, I wish I wasn't asking for help at a time like this. I understand and agree that there are far more worthy and important causes but I feel I have to consider the potential of my future career.
Of course, I have spent every minute since I received my offer considering how I could logistically, carefully, and respectfully raise money under the current circumstances. But making sure I abide by the government's restrictions is leaving me with little I can offer by way of help in exchange. Saying this, if there really is anything - walking dogs with gloves on, helping in the garden, an online singalong or bedtime story for your children, I will help in any way I can! Equally, if you have any suggestions - please send them my way! Once these restrictions are lifted and we are all much less at risk I will of course help in any way possible.
All that’s left to say, at fear of rambling on forever, is thank you so much for even taking the time to read this post. If you wanted to share my Go Fund Me page, or this post, or donate anything at all, it would truly mean the world to me so I can continue to work towards the career I have always dreamt of. I have to be optimistic in that I don’t know who’s hands/Facebook timeline it might fall into. I’m doing all I can to make this dream a reality, and that means, for me personally, asking kindly for any help I can get.
