My Project

These puppets, makeup, makeup mirror and other theatre items will give all of my students an opportunity to experience the technical side of theatre, to learn, and have more appreciation for every person that works extremely hard backstage. Letting my students experience this hands-on fun learning of technical theatre will open their eyes and give them an opportunity to think beyond the stage lights. So many of them are extremely hands-on and creative when they are given the opportunity to express themselves creatively.

The lessons I have planned are lessons I know my students will benefit from and help them to prepare for their high school auditions.
