Setting the Stage for the SouthTech Starlighters

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed in their upcoming production of "Annie Jr."

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mandel's classroom raised $167

This project is fully funded

My Project

The SouthTech Starlighters is a self-funded extracurricular theatre troupe for students at our Title I school. These students come together to learn new skills including, but not limited to, acting, singing, dancing, public speaking, character analysis, text/script analysis, and stagecraft.

We need your help to set the stage for our spring musical production of "Annie Jr." The batteries are needed to power the microphones so that the performers can be heard.

The other items requested are props and costumes for the actors so that they can really dive deep into their roles and portray these characters to the best of their ability.
