The how to: On creating a benefit

Wow so I believe I have found (another) job! exciting news... again! This past week I have been really busy creating and collaborating with a bunch of twenty somethings... or younger.. to make a benefit happen on Sunday. It has been really trying, and hard for all of us. This is the first time we have created something like this and so of course we have had our low points but we have also had our high points. We have created a show, a huge multimedia show full of art. We have also created a family. It has been really exciting to see this come together, especially in the last day. 

We have a whole range of music and dance we are using in this show, so there is something for everyone. 

Everything from Queen to Aida to Songs for a New World to Billy Joel to Godsmack to Spring Awakening to Avenue Q is in this show. 

We brought it all. We finally have made it work as well. This show is going to be one that shouldn't be missed. I am really excited about all of it as you might can tell. 

Anyway so this summer is still weird as hell, with all of the changes, but at least I can say I helped create something really worth seeing.

So in the spirit of benefits, here is a video of a benefit that went up about a month ago with a bunch of talented people as well. So check it out and enjoy! And if you are in the area come to Asheville and support us in our effort to further fund local theatre at Haywood Arts Regional Theatre!
