Shining on Stage in the Heart of Newark!
Funded Nov 13, 2018Link Community Charter School's presentation of "The Wiz" was amazing!
The followspots donated by donorschoose.org were exactly what Link scholars needed to be seen on stage! They were confident and willing to explore areas of the entire theater/gym...as long as those lights followed them. Our parents and staff beamed with utter pride and joy. One teacher said, "Miss. Johnson, I have seen many middle-school performances, but never have I seen one like our Wiz."
When we received our lights, I opened the packages with my 7th and 8th grade scholars during performing arts class. They were the first to ask if they could control our new equipment. So, I decided to hold "auditions" for the crew, who would be on lights. The scholars I selected were super-excited and dedicated to learning how to utilize our followspots.
The staff and the parents at Link Community Charter School are still raving about our musical. I've always believed that as long as our scholars are determined and receive support- by way of materials and opportunities, nothing will prevent their success.
We are utilizing our followspots in our performing arts class. Our scholars are currently working on individual monologues and short scenes. When they are not performing. they are clammoring to be in control of the followspots. We cannot wait for next year's musical. We need to add more sound next! But for now, we are adding lights to every production, big or small, thanks to donorschoose.org.”
