Help My Students Become Better Actors

Help me give my students resources to help them become better actors and actresses.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Jones's classroom raised $440

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having been an acting student through high school and college I have seen the benefits that theatre can have on the trajectory of a students life. Please help me by providing resources for my students to become better actors.

Arts is one of the most important aspects of school.

You can learn about yourself by becoming someone else and I want to bring that to my students. The school I am at has never had a robust theatre program and I want to help build one out. It starts with the one drama class tha I am teaching this semester. Most of my students have never been to a play or have been exposed to arts before.

Please help purchase these books so I can provide my students with the resources they need to find themselves through art.
