My Project

Theater is the single most valuable place where kids can explore the endless possibilities of their imaginations, and what they can do. Navigating through a theater world is daydreaming in motion. It can be a wondrous and nurturing place to grow. There are many benefits in being involved. The students will enhance their creativity, practice morals, build self-esteem, learn focus, improve memory, and work together in a cooperative manner. These skills will help make them more confident, productive individuals in life.

Douglas students have eagerly been waiting for us to bring back the Drama Club.

It has been 3 years since our last performance due to covid. This year we have a total of 46 students participating. So this year we brought it back and purchased performance rights to Alice in Wonderland. We will give them the opportunity to perform for their school and family once again!!

For this project, I am requesting specific costumes for each of the characters that cannot be easily created with thrift store clothing. As per the licensing requirements and size of our cast, we need multiple actors (varying ages) for some characters, which is why there are multiples requested for Alice and other performers. We are also requesting generic, multi-use costume pieces, and props that can be reused for future performances.
