My Students

The students at our school come from diverse backgrounds but mostly live within the Greater Charlotte area. We are so excited to extend our Arts Programming by presenting our first Spring Musical this May. We are looking forward to building a program together where students are given the opportunity to explore many elements of the performing arts in a strong, supportive community.

Giving students the opportunity to rehearse and perform a full scale spring musical, encourages creativity, problem solving and collaboration.

It introduces them to techniques used in STEAM fields and builds accountability and pride in their work

They love exploring new ideas and forms of expression both similar to and different from their own personal backgrounds and experiences. We are excited to expand our artistic opportunities by including more artistic tools and mediums for our set design department!

My Project

Our school is looking to produce its first ever musical! We are working to become the epicenter of youth engagement in our city, specifically tied to the arts. To say our students are going through a tough time is an understatement. The trauma that has impacted them, their families, and the Charlotte community at large is catastrophic, and as we know, arts are usually the first thing to go.

Providing our students with an opportunity to perform will bring a renewed sense of joy to our school community.

The impact of performing arts on the social emotional aspect of Charlotte youth would bring them a sense of belonging, togetherness, and accomplishment that they have not seen in almost a year. They have a fire in them that we have the opportunity to feed through theater.
