Classroom Spruce-Up!
Funded Aug 13, 2020You have made our theatre classroom look more phenomenal than ever! We now have two new cozy reading chairs that are the envy of every student. We have decorative pillows and table coverings that make the classroom feel like a home. This is the most unusual school year ever, and having these items that not only look great but also bring comfort to a stressful time has been powerful and meaningful to my students. Thank you for your ongoing support and love for the Baychester Theatre Program! We hope to be back to our usual operations very soon.”

Flexible Work Surfaces & Scenery
Funded Feb 3, 2020Thank you very much for helping us get this much needed table and desk! They will be perfect in our upcoming production, and then will live a long and happy life in my classroom! Your kindness touches my heart and will definitely be shared with the kids. Bless you all!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Andrulonis
Flexible Audience Seating
Funded Nov 24, 2019Thanks to you, we were able to seat many more parents, family members, and friends in our audience for our fall production. This year's production was "Arsenic and Old Lace," and took place in our theatre classroom. The stools allowed us to provide seating for many more people than we were able to house last year! You can see from the photos that the audience loved our production and laughed a lot!
The stools are now neatly stacked and stored away in our theatre classroom so they can be used for the Spring musical, classroom projects, and future productions.
Thank you again!”

Theatrical Makeup
Funded Oct 12, 2019Thank you so much for helping us purchase these seven new Ben Nye makeup wheels! My students were so excited to be able to use quality products for our class exploration on special effects makeup. I even overheard one of my students telling his mother at parent-teacher conferences, "This is the same stuff they use on Broadway!"
Getting students (especially boys) excited about theatre makeup can sometimes be challenging, but with this product, they could not wait to experiment with black eyes, scars, and bruises.
Thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart for making it possible!”

Mirrors and Mic Belts!
Funded Jul 20, 2019Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting our theatre program! The kids were thrilled to receive our new makeup mirrors and microphone belts (as you can see from the photos).
Currently, our backstage space has no mirrors, so we have always relied on children to bring in their own mirrors. Now, every student can have their own station backstage to look their best for our productions.
The mic belts will help us take care of the excellent sound equipment we purchased many years ago. They keep the battery pack safely secured around the actors' waists as they change costumes. No more falling battery packs!
Thank you again for all the ways you have supported me, my kids, and our theatre program over the years.”
