A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey
As Christmas draws near and I reflect on everything this year has held, I'm filled with both gratitude and excitement for what's ahead. I've been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel with my Azusa Pacific University theater arts cohort to the United Kingdom for a study abroad experience that brings our learning to life.
Exploring the Birthplace of Modern Theater
In the UK, we'll explore the birthplace of modern theater — visiting places like London's West End and the Globe Theatre — and take workshops with theater professionals who are keeping the art of performance alive. This trip will not only deepen my understanding of stagecraft and storytelling but also expand my perspective as an artist dedicated to connecting people through creativity and truth.
Your Generosity Makes This Possible
This Christmas, I'm inviting friends and family to join me on this journey through giving. Every donation, no matter the size, will help cover the travel, housing, and program expenses that make this educational experience possible. Your generosity won't just send me overseas — it will invest in my growth as a storyteller, so I can bring what I learn back to the communities and audiences I'm part of.
Thank You
Thank you for believing in me and for sharing in the heart of what this season represents: hope, generosity, and the joy of giving. I'm so eager to see where this adventure takes me — and to share the lessons, laughter, and inspiration I bring home.
With gratitude,
Leilani Perry
