My Project

Every year, for the holidays, our school puts on a holiday show. The kids dress up, make props, and perform for their parents. It's an excellent way for all students to celebrate their cultures.

Help us create a more festive performance space for the kids.

The stage has four mural panels depicting the early settlement of the area. While they are beautiful, they are not very festive for the winter holidays. The tension rods and felt will allow us to cover the murals for our holiday performance without risking damage. We can use the backdrops year after year, changing what we attach to them from show to show.
