By Charlotte Matherly, The Breeze January 21, 2021
Twelve people. Twelve stories. One show.
That’s what JMU alumna Jennifer Marshall (’01) had in mind when she launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $6,500 for her idea to host community-based theatrical experience that allowed people to share and hear personal journeys with mental health.
In 31 days, she raised over $10,000.
