🎭 Help Send Eddie to the International Thespian Festival! 🎭

We’re launching this fundraiser to help Eddie attend the International Thespian Festival (ITF) in Indiana this June — an incredible opportunity he earned through hard work, talent, and dedication. This will be one of several fundraisers as we work together to make this dream possible for him.

The International Thespian Festival is the premier national event for high‑school theatre students. Thousands of young performers gather for a full week of:

🎬 Professional‑level workshops taught by Broadway actors, directors, choreographers, and industry leaders

🎤 College and scholarship auditions that can open real doors for future performing arts careers

🎭 Mainstage productions featuring the best high‑school theatre in the country

🌟 National‑level performance events where students showcase their skills

🤝 Networking and mentorship with peers and professionals who share their passion

For a young artist, ITF is more than a festival — it’s a life‑changing experience that builds confidence, skill, and opportunity.

Eddie earned his invitation by competing at Colorado Thescon this past December. He performed in one event and received multiple Superior ratings, the highest scores possible. Those Superiors qualified him for Nationals, giving him the chance to attend ITF this summer.

We’ve always been incredibly proud of Eddie throughout the years — proud of his growth, his dedication, and the heart he puts into everything he does. Now we’re rallying around him to help make this next step a reality.

📅 Early registration for ITF opens February 4, 2026 and runs through April 30, 2026.  

Our goal is to reach at least half of our fundraising total by the start of registration so Eddie can secure his spot.

💛 What Your Support Helps Cover:  

The funds raised will go directly toward the essential costs of attending ITF, including:

Eddie’s festival registration

Lodging for the week of the festival

Transportation from Colorado to Indiana and back, plus local travel during the week

Food for the duration of the trip

Chaperone expenses, including registration and lodging

Every contribution — big or small — helps make this opportunity possible.

Your support, whether through giving or sharing, brings Eddie closer to Indiana and closer to an experience that could shape his future in the performing arts.

Thank you for believing in him and cheering him on as he continues to chase his theatre dreams.
