An Introduction to the 2016 team!

For those who have never visited our blog before, welcome! My name is Jimmie "JJ" Jeter. I'm a fourth year actor and this is my fourth trip with the NOLA Project. I'll be leading the team this year alongside Jasminn Johnson and Angela Falk.

 Here you can expect weekly posts from various NOLA 2016 members, see posts from previous years, read general information about our project, learn about ways you can contribute to our fundraising efforts, and read updates we will post while we are on the trip!

Today was our first team meeting together, marking the beginning of our preparation to return to New Orleans from February 27th to March 5th, 2016!  I know I speak for everyone when I say we have a really amazing team put together, and I can't wait to begin to get to know these artists and share this amazing experience with them.

So without further ado, I am proud to be the first to present to you the 2016 Juilliard ARTreach New Orleans Service Project Team!
