From Mermaid to Human - The Little Mermaid Jr!

Help me give my students materials to make costumes to get us into character!

My Project

This project will purchase costumes and fabrics to sew costumes for our upcoming musical production, Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr! Our students are excited to work on their costumes using our brand new sewing machine that we received through a previous Donorschoose project.

Clothing can absolutely make a person.

This extends to the way our students relate to the characters they play in theater productions. Costumes can both affect and dictate the way an actor moves, speaks, and feels. We hope to continue improving in our productions, and with your help we absolutely can!
