Hello! Welcome! We are the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Drama Class of 2023. We are so excited to tell you a little about our senior year at UNCSA.

This spring, we have the distinct opportunity of traveling to New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles to present our showcase for numerous reputable talent agents, managers and casting directors in film, TV and theater. We will also be working with the film school at UNCSA to create a virtual showcase that will make our work accessible to hundreds more industry professionals and potential employers.

Making these professional connections is a crucial step forward in any young actors career and UNCSA has a record of great success. Showcase has helped connect many UNSCA drama students with the top talent agencies and management in the US, allowing several students to land their first job as soon as they graduate.

We acknowledge the challenges that our community, the nation and world are facing right now. Today's young people look toward a future with many uncertainties. However, we also know that in times of hardship, the arts are more important than ever.

It takes a large sum of funding for us to bring our Showcase to these cities, as we incur costs for the venues, group housing, flights, and ground transportation. We have begun to raise money by organizing yard sales, hosting a rock n roll benefit cabaret, and selling concessions at all UNCSA Drama productions. Even with our efforts, we need more help to reach our final goal.

We humbly ask you to invest in our futures by making a gift, in any amount. No donation is too small.

We are so grateful for your support! You can learn more about us on our class website or follow us on Instagram .
