My Project

The students of Bowie High School's Bulldog Theatre are so excited to put on their first production since the pandemic!

Peter and the Starcatcher opens March 17th and we are looking for help rebuilding our props stock.

Speciality items, such as the pool toys and flashlight set, in particular will help us to bring this fantastical show about the origin of the boy who never grew up to life.

During the pandemic, our storage was infested and we lost all our props and costumes. We plan to pass along the kind thoughts to help future productions at other schools!
