The “Be Me Be Great” Scholarship
Just Ask Marlene will now be offering a special “Be Me Be Great” full scholarship for students ages 14 to 18. This Scholarship is in partnership with the National Theatre for Student Artists’ 2018 summer program.
The National Theatre for Student Artists (NTSA) brings together young artists from across the country to stage new plays and musicals off-Broadway. JAM’s “Be Me Be Great” Scholarship Winner will receive a full scholarship for one of NTSA’s three-week programs, valued at $4,970. This experience offers the Scholarship winner – actor or director, a chance to couple their once in a lifetime theatre arts experience.
Do you dream of someday performing onstage in New York City? You could get your chance this summer! For three weeks, you’ll stay on campus at Daemen College in Western New York, while you rehearse a world or regional premiere production with a staff of experienced theatre directors. At the end of the program, you’ll travel down to New York City where you’ll perform off-Broadway! The scholarship includes your housing, meals, and tuition. (You’re responsible for providing your own transportation to the rehearsal site and back home from the performance.)
