My Project

Our high school theatre program is growing, and our students are more excited than ever to create, perform, and collaborate. But to keep up with their passion and potential, we need essential tools to support their work—onstage and off.

We’re requesting sturdy tables, engaging theatre books, and microphone belt packs to give our students what they need to succeed in class and on stage.

The tables will provide a comfortable, functional space for script analysis, design projects, and collaboration during rehearsals and lessons. The books will build a diverse classroom library that fuels student learning and creativity—covering acting, directing, stagecraft, playwriting, and more. And the microphone belt packs are crucial for hands-free sound amplification during musicals and plays, ensuring every student is heard clearly and confidently.

With your help, we can create a space where students not only perform but thrive—thinking critically, working together, and expressing themselves with power and pride. Help us raise the curtain on opportunity—one table, book, and mic pack at a time!
