My Project

As a theatre teacher, my goal is to uplift our students not just as artists but as individual leaders who feel confident in who they are. What was intended to be my office has transformed into a creative sanctuary for them, and I believe this shift happened for a reason. Many of my students face mental health struggles, and this space has become a refuge where they can find solace, express their emotions, and connect with their peers.

This theatre studio will provide a place for students to take a moment for themselves, unleash their creativity, and generate content for our theatre program.

With essential creative pieces like a ring light, accent chairs, and art supplies, we can make this space a vibrant haven where every student feels valued and inspired. Your support means everything in helping us create an environment that encourages self-expression and personal growth. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help our students thrive.
