My Project

We are thrilled to embark on a new journey by establishing our middle school theater program. Our goal is to provide our diverse group of middle school students with an enriching theater experience that fosters creativity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The impact of your support extends far beyond the classroom. Through theater, our students are developing essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and self-confidence.

Currently, our theater classroom has zero sound or lighting equipment.

With your support, we aim to receive a simple Bluetooth speaker, 4 color-changing floodlights, and a headset.

The speaker will enable us to provide essential sound elements, including track backgrounds and sound effects, enhancing our performances and captivating our audiences.

Color-changing floodlights will transform our classroom into an immersive theatrical environment. These lights will enable us to create dynamic scenes, setting the mood and enhancing the overall impact of our productions. Imagine the excitement in the room as our students step onto a stage bathed in vibrant colors, transported into a world of imagination and storytelling.

We also recognize the importance of amplifying every student's voice and ensuring equal opportunities for all. That is why we would like to acquire a small headset microphone. This microphone will not only improve communication between our director and students during rehearsals and performances, but will also empower our quieter students, enabling them to be heard and feel confident in expressing themselves.
