My Project
Our theatre program is requesting two professional-grade lighting instruments to enhance our upcoming musical, The Wiz, and to train future lighting designers and technicians. These instruments will significantly impact our students' learning by providing them with hands-on experience in modern theatrical lighting design. Students will learn to manipulate lighting to create mood, highlight key moments, and transform our stage into a vibrant, immersive world. These skills not only elevate our productions but also prepare students for professional opportunities in theatre and live event production.
Our goal for this project is to build a robust technical theatre program that equips students with industry-standard skills.
By adding these lighting instruments to our inventory, we can continue to improve the production value of all our shows while offering students the tools to experiment, innovate, and create with confidence. These instruments will become a cornerstone of our tech training, inspiring students to pursue creative careers and bringing their artistic visions to life.
What makes our students special is their resilience, creativity, and determination. Many of them are experiencing technical theatre for the first time, and yet they approach every challenge with excitement and curiosity. With the right tools and resources, these young artists can achieve professional-level results and take pride in the amazing work they produce. Your support will not only brighten our stage but also empower our students to shine in their future endeavors.
