Dear Friends and (Black Box) Family,

In 2009, straight out of college, I went to an audition for Hey Dancin! at the Factory Theater. Being that the audition requirements were to dance 80′s style and read some sides I was obviously cast. Since then the Factory Theater has taken me under their wing, cast me in more shows and invited me to be an ensemble member. I’ve had the opportunity to act, dance, develop grant-writing skills and now I’m even working on a play of my own. We are a company that only produces original work. The Factory Theater is fun-loving and hard working people. They are an inspiration and artistic porthole for me. They are my second family.

I share this with you because on Monday December 10th, we are celebrating Factory’s 20th anniversary with a Gala celebration. I would be so grateful if you could come and celebrate this outstanding organization with me. Tickets are $30 and include drinks, passed apps, several performances, a reading of a crazy staged play and a silent auction for many wonderful prizes.

Tickets can be purchased here.

If you can’t make it but would still like to show your support, a tax-deductible donation can be made here.

I cannot thank you enough for your support over the last few years. How about you join me for a party so I can tell you in person?

Hope to see you soon!
