“I practically lived in the black box theatre with the Maskrafters and it was the best part of my Georgetown College experience. I got to be fantastically creative with an amazing group that morphed into family over four years."
Meredith Cave Moran, '13
What are the benefits?
Our Maskrafters Academy allows accepted students to use film equipment for individual projects, participate in every stage show, attend workshops at the Humana Festival each spring, and intern in a related field. All Academy students will also receive a scholarship of $1,000 per year, and an additional $500 during their senior year to allow them to direct a play or film a movie for their senior project. With our focus on developing new work for stage and screen, we give students the chance to explore their own ideas and the tools to become content creators.
