Acting Out Our History

Help me give my students props and costumes for their final acting performance in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bean's classroom raised $254

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our intermediate theater students are performing a full length play, many of them for the first time. The students are in charge of nearly every aspect of the production, from designing lights, to building the sets, sourcing the costumes, running the show backstage, and also acting!

This project was created by the students based around their needs within the show for each of the technical areas.

Students will use the props to showcase the characters. They will use the costume pieces to highlight the time period (1920s). All of this is to help the students to create a realistic theater production.
