DC Theater Arts: On Saturday, October 3, George Mason University’s College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) will host its annual ARTS by George! benefit at the Fairfax campus. Acclaimed actor and musician Jeff Goldblum and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra will headline the benefit. ARTS by George! supports student scholarships and funding for CVPA, the Mason Community Arts Academy, the Green Machine Ensembles, and the Great Performances at Mason season at the George Mason University Center for the Arts.

I appreciated this article because it shows that a healthy community with the right resources can transform a young artist and help them thrive. When I began applying to theatre schools last year, I sensed a sort of stigma surrounding schools with newer theatre programs, but George Mason’s College of Visual & Performing Arts is a great example of why that stigma shouldn’t exist. Yes, I acknowledge that older programs have had more time to develop their curriculum and grow their community, but Adelina Mitchell found that George Mason gave her all she needed to succeed in the industry. I loved her take on the importance of theatre and how much fulfillment it brings her, and I think it’s really cool to see how much George Mason’s program has grown since her time there in 2016. This article has encouraged me to explore the DC theatre space, as I am very intrigued by its diversity of shows.
