Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." - Oscar Wilde

Our students are a rare breed of students.

They are economically disadvantaged, at-risk, and up against many odds to graduate. Their lives at home can be very unbalanced. Motivation comes from few places outside of the walls of school. However, coming from this common place, they collectively want something more than want they've been shown. Our school is a place of safe haven and a portal to bigger things.

My Project

We are a growing Theatre program that includes Acting and Technical theatre training. We are beginning our second year of the advanced technical theatre class. Last year, through donors support, we were able to acquire power tools that helped us begin our set construction training. We are now asking for one additional cordless drill, allowing more student to build at the same time. We are also asking for two sewing machines in an effort to begin our costume design and construction training. Right now, we do not have any sewing machines. Being able to have these machines will empower our students with a trade skill and really allow them to tap into their creativity.

Your donation will allow my students to express themselves in a new way.

Designing, building, and creating are all key components in our program and these tools will helps me introduce a new component.
