2024 Spring Production of Romeo & Juliet

Help me give my students everything they need to perform a modern adaption of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet! We need materials for the set, props, and sound equipment. We need your help!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shefer's classroom raised $986

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Drama Club of our school is currently working hard to present Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare as their annual Spring Production for the 2023-2024 school year. Although we have the talent, what we need is resources. All items listed will be used either as props, materials for set crafting, or technology for our sound system. We need all of these things and potentially more. And we are relying on your gracious support!

We pride ourselves on creating theater that is student-centered.

The Drama Club leadership presented options for which play to put on and after much deliberation, settled on Romeo & Juliet. Aside from the director (Mr. Shefer) and one special guest artist (Surprise!), this production is entirely performed, costume, set, sound, and light designed by students of our school's Drama Club. Our students have all the talent and motivation and we need to match it by giving them all the tools to make it happen. The performance will take place at our school's auditorium on May 17 @ 6:00 pm. On behalf of the Drama Club, please donate what you can, and thank you for taking the time to read about our needs!
