Rehearsal and Performance

Help me give my students elevated theatre experience with rehearsal tools and lobby decorations.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

My Project

As the Theatre program continues to grow at HPMS, I want to ensure my students have all the necessities to give them a proper rehearsal process and production experience. Students have done an amazing job with the materials I have provided so far; however, I want to help them get to the next level in their practice.

Binders, highlighters, and spiking tape for each student will allow the students to house their scripts and materials to ensure they are prepared for each class, making each class equitable.

Learning blocking, lines, and costumes/set changes are new for many of our students. These requested materials are crucial to ensuring that each student have that opportunity to overcome the learning curve.

Theatre is known to change lives and I want my students to be as prepared as possible! Lastly, the backdrop and red carpet is an incentive for students to be invested in their performance because they have this "movie like" experience to share with their classmates and parents.
