Becoming Our Ancestors

Help me give my students wigs, costumes, and makeup for their spring musical.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bean's classroom raised $506

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our spring musical has students becoming ancestors onstage. They all need to have white hair and makeup, which is a large challenge. After brainstorming various ideas with the students, we decided that wigs were the easiest for repeated performances.

With this project, our students will receive various white wigs and supplies to do white makeup.

Each student will get to choose which wig and develop an ancestor role based on that look. They will customize their wigs and create makeup designs to support both their chosen characters and the world of the show.
