Christchurch International Musical Theatre Summer School (CIMTSS) is a two week musical theatre summer school in Christchurch, New Zealand, bringing the best national and international tutors to teach in Christchurch.

The programme is being founded and directed by New York University graduate and Fulbright Scholar Luke Di Somma. Each year he assembles an outstanding team of tutors, artists and administrators. The next programme is CIMTSS 2018, with guest tutors including Drama Desk Winner Andréa Burns (In The Heights, Songs For A New World, On Your Feet!), Two-time Tony Nominee Jonathan Groff, (Hamilton, Frozen, Glee) and Julia Murney (who originated the role of “Queenie” in The Wild Party, and also played Elphaba on Broadway)

The Emerging Professionals programme is designed to help young performance develop the skills required to build a career in this industry. Entrance to this course is by audition only, and with applications being assessed by an international panel of professionals (and with applicants from all over New Zealand and abroad), being accepted is a pretty huge deal for me.

Use of funds

Any funds raised will be going towards this 10 day course.

Donations will be used to cover my entrance fee, flights and accommodation and an emergency crash course in Tap, because I have never tapped in my life and would prefer not to make a COMPLETE fool of myself in front of everybody (I will almost definitely still make a fool of myself, but at least I can try to minimise the damage),

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
