My students in the after school drama club are a mixture of high school and eighth grade students. With nearly 75% of our students on free/reduced lunch, our county is clearly an economically distressed county. Of course, there is no money available for dramatic arts. The old auditorium where my students perform has a small room under the stage, where performers must go to dress and put on their makeup. It is a dreary, uninviting room. The students have been awarded a small sum of money to transform that room into an inviting, exciting "green room," where our drama club members, as well as visiting performers, can dress or relax before going up onto the stage to perform. With the purchase of wall paint, rollers, makeup lights, and mirrors, we have exhausted the donation. We still need several things, such as acrylic paint and brushes for a couple of murals we will paint on the walls, in order to complete the project. It is my hope that Donors Choose can help my students.
