Jess' Youth Music Theatre project

Hi my name is Jessica Cooper and I am 16 years old. I live and breathe Musical Theatre. My heart's desire is to be performing on the stage. Recently I was thrilled to be offered a place with Youth Music Theatre UK, a national theatre company for young people. They've asked me to join the project  'First Ladies' , a residential musical theatre course held over two weeks in the summer. The project covers all aspects of music theatre and we will work with an experienced artistic staff to develop skills in writing, composing and choreography as well as performance. I am trying to raise the funds needed for my course which will also cover all of my accommodation, food and pastoral care.
I am also hoping to fundraise by holding dinner parties, concerts, selling artwork and hopefully selling CDs of my original songs. I also intend to write to local businesses to ask if they will donate towards my course fee. 
Any donations at all would be massively appreciated, I am desperate to be able grab this rare opportunity as I have really enjoyed the performing arts since as long as I can remember.  Thanks so much for what ever you can give,

Jess x
