Does the performing arts have to break the bank?
As someone who's only form of training being from a high school, I feel passionate about the fact that making it in the business shouldn't be about how much money you have. Money doesn't equal talent but to pay for higher education it doesn't matter ho talented you are if you don't have the money to pay for it, you are not getting in. I feel passionate about getting underprivileged kids into the performing arts, but what's the point if they can afford to take their talent into a career.
