My Project

Our players is a vibrant, hardworking group of students dedicated to bringing the magic of theater to our school community. These young performers commit to twice-weekly afterschool rehearsals, pouring their creativity, energy, and enthusiasm into every scene. However, many of our students come to rehearsal hungry after a long school day, which can make it difficult for them to stay focused and fully engaged.

To ensure our students can bring their best to each rehearsal, we are seeking snacks to provide them with the energy they need to learn lines, perfect choreography, and build confidence on stage.

Your generous contribution will allow us to purchase nutritious, individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit, crackers, and water to keep our young actors fueled and ready to shine.

Theater is more than just performing, it teaches teamwork, discipline, and self-expression, all essential life skills. By helping us provide snacks, you're not just feeding our students you’re ensuring they can fully participate, learn, and grow in an environment that fosters creativity and self-confidence.

With your support, we can keep our drama students energized, engaged, and excited about rehearsals and performances. Every dollar makes a difference, and together, we can nourish their passion for the arts—one snack at a time.

Thank you for believing in the power of theater and in our incredible students!
