Building a Haunted Musical

Help me give my students props for their spring musical of Addams Family.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bean's classroom raised $371

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are building the sets, costumes, and props for our theater productions. They work in our after-school club and in the theater production classes. With our limited resources, we struggle to find the supplies to create musical productions.

With this project, students will have the supplies to build unique props, set pieces, and costumes for their spring musical.

This includes flowers where the heads can be cut off repeatedly, a pet rat that moves by itself onstage, custom vials and bottles for decor, a red apple that can be shot with an arrow, a light bulb that lights on its own, a tassel that also moves on its own, and more. The students will be tasked with completing a prop or set piece for the show.
