All desired materials will go towards making my students hopes for an excellent theater program become a reality. I am re-starting my school's theater program after its two year break and am thrilled to give my students a chance to participate in the arts after school. Rehearsals will start in February and we will learn about theater in general, do community building activities, and put on a play. The play will be bilingual (English and Spanish) and will center around Latinx identity - which is how the majority of my students identify themselves. We do theater with young people because, if done right, it allows us to believe in magic. However, that magic requires supplies for set pieces, props, costumes, lighting, and so much more; this project consists of the most basic, but most important needs for this play. Through magical realism, this play brings the moon, the stars, and outer space to life. Centered around a young girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut, the show must have both space themed objects on stage and background elements. The paint, brushes, glow stars, star light, and light up curtain will help me create a backdrop that resembles the night sky in the magical way the protagonist sees it. The space book and backpacks will help bring the characters to life in a realistic way. Furthermore, the show revolves around the protagonist's journey to find friendship, and she does so through reading. It is through the story of Alice in Wonderland that she makes her first friend. Finally, the family carries around all of their belongings throughout the show. We are going to be using a wheelbarrow for this. It needs a collapsible shelf so that the family can make lunch on stage.
