This will include Scott attending sessions with Cody Renard Richard, a stage management professional who has worked with Broadway and Cirque de Solie, where she says that, “I’m most excited about the scholarship because of the opportunity to form new connections within the technical theater industry and learning about different approaches and creating space for artists of color to be heard in the industry,”
