Have weekend plans? Head to the @WheelerOpera in #AspenCO to see the Sopris Theatre Company at Colorado Mountain College perform "The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong."

This whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show — an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead and actors who trip over everything, including their lines. Combining Monty Python comedy with an element of Sherlock Holmes, the Olivier Award-winning comedy follows accident-prone thespians as they stumble their way to curtain call.

🎟️ Tickets available at aspenshowtix.com

Have you earned college credits but have no degree? It’s a new year, so why not Finish What You Started? The FWYS grant can provide qualified students up to $4000 to earn their degree. 🎓
Link in bio to learn about how to qualify for this grant and other scholarship opportunities!

Transcript:
Erikka Saueressig is a Veterinary Technology student at @cmcspringvalley.

“I grew up here and knew CMC was affordable, so I enrolled.”

“I think I read about the Finish What You Started grant in an email that said I qualified.”

Part of the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative, the Finish What You Started program can provide students with up to $4,000 based on a student’s field of study and financial need. These grants can be renewed!

“Last semester, we had to get rabies vaccines shots [for a class] for ourselves and I paid for it with that money. It’s also helped me pay my bills.”

Like other grant recipients, Erikka attended college earlier in life but didn’t finish “for several reasons. Then COVID-19 hit so I had to take a break.”

Erikka started the vet tech program in 2021 and plans to finish her college education in 2023.
