My Project

Greetings, valued donors!

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s performance theme is Under the Sea!

This exciting project will involve multiple grade levels and requires materials that will help bring our vision to life. These resources will be essential for set design and scenic enhancement, allowing our young performers to feel empowered, professional, and truly immersed in their creative journey.

Here’s how your generous contributions will make a splash:

• Pool noodles will be transformed into large, vibrant prop pieces and oversized marine plants.

• Headbands will serve as the base for costume pieces, becoming stunning coral formations.

• Paper cups will be creatively colored and crafted into Poritidae sea corals.

• Transparent dome umbrellas will be turned into glowing moon jellyfish.

Your support will help us create an unforgettable undersea world for our performers and audience alike. I can’t thank you enough for considering a donation to this project and for your unwavering dedication to the arts.
