My Project

The items requested will be used not only for after school productions, but also for classes. Students can use the makeup for productions but also for Introduction to Theatre and Technical Theatre when we are learning about Stage Makeup.

Students will be able to incorporate these items into productions throughout the year in order to fully understand the production process.

By utilizing things that we cannot afford to purchase on our own, we are able to improve the quality of our productions both during school and after school. By meeting basic needs for theatre such as costumes and makeup, our students will be able to focus on their performance and not their appearance.

Grades 9-12
