MPAC is a organization close to my heart because it is local to me and I have attended a number of productions at MPAC, including Morristown ONSTAGE, the spring musical (Hairspray), and educational productions that I attended as part of a school trip. In addition, as a junior in high school, I was honored as a Music Student of the Month at MPAC. I appreciate how committed MPAC is to supporting community artists of any age. I think this organization would be great for the start of my career because I would like to work at a regional (as opposed to national) organization to start and it would feel good to pay back to my community by working for an organization that has done so much for my community.

The listing for the event even specifies recommended grade levels for viewing and curriculum links.
