There is no one-track way to get to the top, but what if that isn't what you're striving for? What if this passion growing inside of you is here to be seen and heard for this chapter in your life?
It's important to stay connected to your community. Our Michigan roots have a long diverse history in the arts. Did you know there was a time, in the early 20th century, where Detroit had more live theatre's than NYC and Chicago combined?

That energy is still alive today -- bring back the film incentives!!
