My name is Hannah Schoen and I have been doing mudlark for 5 years. I started with the camps and then ended up auditioning for the main shows. Although some of my other friends at mudlark have been doing it for years and years, mudlark still means so much to me and has been a big part of my life. Mudlark means a lot to me for many reasons, the first being that I gave me such good Experiences with acting and being treated like a professional even at such a young age. The standards were raised for us actors and that made mudlark such a fun experience because the shows we put on were actually pretty good, and rose above other children's theater I had ever done. Another reason why I love mudlark is I have met so many of my closest friends there. I will always be greatfull for that. In the summer, mudlark is hosting a 24 hour play festival, were the mudlark youth board, and a few others, are writing directing and acting in a few short plays all produced in 24 hours. Because mudlark means so much to me, I would really appreciate if people went to the mudlark website and donated to make sure this 24 hour play festival can continue to happen each year! Thank you!!
