My Project

Hey there! As a first-year teacher, I'm stepping into the exciting world of teaching students the magic of stage performance. One of the coolest parts? Teaching them how to use stage makeup to bring characters to life! But to do that, I need your help. Stage makeup isn’t just about creating looks; it’s about inspiring creativity, teaching attention to detail, and giving students the skills to express themselves in a completely new way.

With the right supplies, we can transform ordinary students into extraordinary characters, from spooky monsters to historical figures, all while building their confidence and pushing their imagination.

Plus, stage makeup is an art form that ties into so many skills: precision, creativity, teamwork, and self-expression. It's all part of bringing the theatrical experience to life in a way that leaves a lasting impact.

By donating, you'll be helping me create a fun, hands-on learning experience that will stick with these students for years to come. Together, we can make the world of theater even more exciting and inspiring for these young artists!
