Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

We are a Title 1 school. Most students are dreamers or are first generation Americans trying to live out their American dream. The American dream for some of them is the pursuit of theater and the arts. All of the items we have asked for will be used to produce the play: The Wiz the Musical.

We have historically had a great theater program over the past 15 years producing Broadway and Off-Broadway quality shows.

Some classical shows our students have produced and performed in are West Side Story, Little Shop of Horrors; yet they have also produced and performed in contemporary shows like She Kills Monsters and In the Heights.

Alumni have gone on to pursue theater and the arts in college and beyond. We have had students go on to work technical theater in colleges, community theaters, and even the Apollo theater! Some of our past actors are hunting their musical American Dream and can be found on Spotify! We have also had actors move on to the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the NYU Tisch School of the Arts!

Not all students who enter our program choose to pursue theater or the arts as part of their American Dream, but EVERYONE leaves with a deeper love of the theater. Isn't that what it is all about?
