Question: Proper procedure for fanmail/asking for signatures on a playbill for a Broadway show?

Back when Hamilton first came on Broadway, my sister and I practically emptied our bank accounts buying tickets for the day after Christmas. We're absolutely obsessed and loved the show, but we couldn't stay for signatures as it was quite late and we were expected back to the hotel. I would really really love to have my sister's playbill signed as a birthday gift, but I have no idea as to how I would go about asking. I was reading about it and heard you have to send a self-addressed stamped envelope with your fan mail to the stage manager, but how does this work?

Do I send the playbill with the SASE? Or do they provide me with one? How big should my SASE be? Should I include a donation with my letter? I heard that most places ask for one in exchange for signatures. If anyone has direct information on HAMILTON, that would be the most helpful. Should I perhaps email Lin-Manuel Miranda first and ask about the donation part? So many questions. Thank you!

Question: Mexican or white? I have to pick one or the other for my "ethnic look" on my acting application. Help!?
