Curtains and Draping for Performances

Help me give my students curtains and draping for our Cabaret Night Performance.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Herring's classroom raised $726

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our theatre is undergoing extensive construction to install new lights and sound leaving us stranded without a theatre to perform our Second Annual Cabaret Night Performance. This specific performance is student-run and produced! These items will help us to achieve and create a backstage area in our cafeteria to help create curtains and areas for students to be located while not on stage. In addition, these items will also help us to secure all the curtains and drapes into place and mark where they need to be. These items will also be used to help create backstage space for our elementary touring shows next school year.
