Hieu Bui是一名作家，导演和表演者，他选择参加威尼斯人娱乐城音乐学院来帮助他磨练这些手艺。 布伊说，他在这里的经历给了他信心和技巧，使他能够按照自己的方式取得成功。
“The most important thing I’ve learned at 威尼斯人娱乐城 is that you must make your own work, especially if you aren’t given opportunities. Most plays and stories don’t have faces like mine, aesthetic like mine and cultures that are mine. I realized that no one else will write these aspects that are me,” he says.
Bui is already making a name for himself with an original work titled, “Blanket,” about siblings struggling to adjust to life in a new country after moving from Vietnam. 他的剧本参加了肯尼迪中心美国大学戏剧节（KCACTF）全国剧本创作大赛的10分钟剧本类别。 “Blanket” placed first regionally, is a national semi-finalist and was recognized for Outstanding Play. 大约有70部10分钟的戏剧参加了地区艺术节。
Bui’s play is one of 16 semi-finalists nationwide. 其中4部将在4月份的全国艺术节上演出。

In addition to writing “Blanket,” Bui directed and acted in the video reading for the competition. Bui’s friends and fellow 威尼斯人娱乐城 students helped plan and direct the shoot, as well as acted in it. 他们在Zoom上读了一遍，然后在学校的格兰特大厅拍摄。
This is Bui’s second time entering the KCACTF. 去年，他是独幕剧比赛的三名决赛选手之一。 Bui says this year’s work, “Blanket” was inspired by a reading in his playwriting class.
“Playwriting, acting and poetry are some of my favorite classes that I’ve taken. My professors’ passion for storytelling and their support gave me what I needed to build this play and enter the KCACTF. This is only the second competition I’ve entered my work in, but it won’t be the last.”
