Let There Be Light: Stage Lighting for Student Performers

Help me give my students shine! Our outdated stage lights limit student performances. Help us upgrade to safe, colorful, LED lighting so our kids can shine confidently and proudly in concerts, plays, and musicals.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bishop's classroom raised $1,828

My Project

I love how naturally theatrical and creative my students are. They often make up their own plays during recess, assigning roles, creating characters, and performing with incredible imagination and teamwork. Although we haven’t produced a full play or musical yet, their interest and enthusiasm are undeniable. With upgraded LED stage lighting and a simple controller, we can transform our space into a real performance environment. These lights will help us build a stage that inspires them, supports future productions, and gives every child the chance to feel like a true performer.
