MEA Theatre Company letter from Adira Rosen
Hello MEA Community!
As the current Artistic Director of the MEA Theatre Company and a proud MEA Alumni I am reaching out to all of you to say congratulations on reaching the end of another successful year at MEA.
The MEA Theatre Company has also reached the end of a very exciting year. This year the company grew quite a bit as we brought on our first Guest Director, Erin Petersen, our amazing Communications Intern, Humnah Memon, and included almost a dozen new students in our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! I want to take a moment to thank Erin and Humnah for all of their hard work this year, we couldn’t have done it without you!
The company is continuing to grow and we need your help. Please take five minutes out of your day and read this short letter. I promise it will be worth your time as there are some BIG announcements in the letter. I hope you can take a look!
Many Thanks,
Adira Rosen
MEA Theatre Co. Founder and Artistic Director
