My Project

My classes are a mixture of kids of all levels and finances. Theatre builds lifelong skills for our students that will transfer to all aspects of their life. 200 students working on this project will participate in learning and creating a theatre production from start to finish.

Learning all aspects of technical theatre and performance, my students will create costumes, sets, props, and a backdrop for a children's show they will help to write and perform!

Receiving books, tools, make-up and art supplies will give students a solid theatre foundation.
