Stay Tuned!
I haven’t been writing much lately, but that’s because there’s Big Things going on here in Drama Farm Land. We’re working on a major overhaul of the website right now - it’s pretty text-heavy as it is, and we want to make it more appealing to our potential collaborators (and add some of our new chickens!) Once that’s up and running, we’ll be starting a major push to find interested college students who want to work with us on creating a program for next summer. It’s exciting stuff!
In the meantime, check out this article from Good Magazine. It’s about Project M, which is actually based on a similar concept to what we want to do with the Drama Farm: 8 design students gather for one month, with the sole purpose of accomplishing something meaningful with their design skills. It’s really exciting to see what these students create, and reading it reinforced my belief that we could do something really amazing with the Drama Farm.
Give it a read, and while you’re there, consider subscribing to Good - it’s only $20, and all of that goes to the nonprofit of your choice. You get magazines, your favorite charity gets a donation - it’s a win-win situation!
And stay tuned - you’ll be seeing big Drama Farm updates in the next week or so!

Yeah, it’s great to see more ventures like yours coming up, people putting more into education for the sake of learning, not just for results. And real-world experience at that.
Can’t wait for your Drama Farm to get up and running. I believe that it can really make a difference. Looking forward to hearing great things from you. Maybe I’ll drop by one day (probably not soon, cos of the distance and my age, but yeah. hopefully one day I’ll be able to).

Thanks for the encouragement, Derrick - it’s always nice to know I’ve got people rooting for me. I can’t wait either - but it’s amazing how great it feels to be actually doing something, knowing that we’re making some progress towards the bigger goal…
If you ever make it over to this end of the world, you should definitely stop by! It’d be great to meet you, and the doors of the Drama Farm will always be open to you! =)
