After Ezekiel was in a world premiere musical “Chasing Rainbows-The Road to Oz,”directed by Broadway director Jeff Whiting, at the Flat Rock Playhouse in Flat Rock, NC, he received an amazing opportunity to attend the Open Jar Institute this summer in New York City! Ezekiel will have the honor of spending one week working one-on-one with Broadway’s best actors, agents and performers with a chance to audition in front of them as well.

Only 60 high school students from around the world are accepted into this program and Ezekiel is beyond excited to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

We feel so blessed to be able to support Ezekiel on this amazing new journey and had an absolute blast with him in front of our cameras as we captured a few new headshots.

Acting and musical theater is Ezekiel’s passion and he would love to pursue it as his career! He is raising money now for the high cost of tuition, travel expenses, and housing.  If you would like to support Ezekiel or learn more about his amazing opportunity please click this link: GoFundMe.com/EzekielMercado.

Congratulations, Ezekiel! We can’t wait to see how far your dream takes you!
