Ms. Dockstader's Theater Class Upgrade!

Help me give my students a proper theater space to work in. The shelves are to replace the ones falling apart in class, and the makeup is for students to learn stage makeup techniques!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I'm a new teacher in a theater classroom, and while I came to a classroom with lots of items already there, many things were falling apart, hardly working, or so old that things were stuck to the floor. Now that I've been here for a bit, I want to start making my classroom really shine. I have a massive collection of plays that are so hard to access that I can hardly read them. They're in a cramped space in a place that just doesn't work for the class, but the shelves are weighed down and bulky, so I've asked for two new shelves to replace them with and stickers to properly label them! They will give me space to reorganize as well as add to the collection in the future! As for the makeup supplies like brushes and mirrors, because we normally do our performances in a black box theater, it gets extremely dark behind the scenes. With lighted mirrors and proper brushes, the students can learn how to do makeup on the actors without having to strain their eyes or use paintbrushes like they are currently using.

If you are looking for an arts based project to fund, this would be an excellent one!

You will be helping make the dreams of all my theater students come true, and give them a place even more likely to take them to success! Thank you!
