My Students

The drama program at the high school where I work was non-existent until last year, when the chorus teacher and I renewed it for the first time in nearly a decade. The students who auditioned, rehearsed, and put on the first musical were the most hard-working, compassionate team of teenagers I have EVER been fortunate enough to work with. They designed the sets, painted, made props, even taught themselves how to sew! They trusted in me and the chorus teacher, they supported each other through difficult rehearsals, and they put on a killer performance of "Little Shop of Horrors" with limited resources, a tiny budget, and a LOT of laughter. It occurred to me, though, that many of them have never seen a real Broadway performance and this year, we want to give them a fantastic experience by taking them on a day trip to NYC to see a professional show!

My Project

My theater students are hard-working, creative, and enthusiastic about theater! This is only our high school's second year with a theater program, and many of my students live in extremely rural and high poverty areas of our community. Seeing their growing love for theater has inspired me to want to give them the best theater experience imaginable: Broadway! There is a matinee showing of Aladdin in December that would be captivating for my students and I really want to surprise them with tickets! In order for my students to be able to go on this trip, I would like to lower the cost to them. This project will go towards paying for the show tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime day trip! Thank you so much for your support!
