Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our theater program empowers students to explore their creativity through live performances, fostering teamwork, confidence, and a passion for the arts. This year, we’re thrilled to present Frozen Kids, a magical production where students will showcase their acting, singing, and technical skills. This performance is a unique opportunity for our students to learn not only the art of acting but also how to work behind the scenes, mastering elements such as lighting, sound, and set design.

To ensure a professional and impactful experience, we need to upgrade our audio system.

Specifically, we require high-quality microphones, sound mixers, and speakers to ensure clear sound for both the cast and audience. This equipment is crucial for capturing the full range of the students’ performances, from the delicate nuances of their voices to the vibrant music and sound effects that bring Frozen Kids to life. The right audio system will enhance every scene, ensuring no line or song goes unheard, making the experience more immersive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Your generous support will directly impact this production, providing the essential equipment that will elevate both the technical quality of our show and the confidence of our students. By investing in this audio upgrade, you're not only helping us deliver an exceptional performance, but you're also giving students the opportunity to engage with the technical side of theater production—skills that are valuable both on stage and off.

We are deeply grateful for your consideration and support. Together, we can create an unforgettable experience that will inspire our students and our entire community.
