Building Our Imagination

Help me give my students hands-on supplies to design all areas of technical theater.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bean's classroom raised $600

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year was the first year our school has offered a theater production class. Students overwhelmingly loved the hands-on structure of the class. Unfortunately that means that we also run through supplies quickly.

With this project, we will replenish supplies that were used up for next year's theater production course.

Students learn how to hand sew and need needles and buttons. They learn how to design sets on paper and also build our sets for the full productions. They design costumes and need colorful markers and glue for scale models.
