Letters Aloud: “Thanks, But No Thanks – The Greatest Rejection Letters Ever”

Success doesn’t come easy, and this show proves it with a delightful twist on the bumps along the way. Watch as Stephen King gets his first rejection letter from Spacemen Magazine, Andy Warhol is told to pick up his returned painting, and Gertrude Stein faces her own signature critique.

The stories don’t stop there. A young Sidney Poitier hilariously asks President Franklin Roosevelt for a $100 loan—and gets turned down—while a bold 17-year-old college applicant flips the script and rejects her rejection letter from Duke University.

Through humor and heart, these tales of resilience and determination remind us all that rejection is just a step toward success. Prepare to laugh, feel inspired, and leave with a renewed sense of perseverance!
