Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are hard-working, kind, and passionate. The majority of my students grew up speaking Spanish at home and are learning English as their second language. Therefore, my students are resilient, multicultural, and multilingual. As of now, my students have very few opportunities to participate in after-school activities or the arts.

My students are excited to apply their passions, talents, and kind hearts to the theater program.

We originally planned to perform this play in the Spring of 2020, but it was cut short due to COVID. We are now going ahead with remounting this show and performing it this Spring, 2022! Students will get the chance to perform in a bilingual play centered around Latinx youth. This will allow them to practice empathy, which is the core value that our school is centered around and also build community within our school.

My Project

Two years ago we began rehearsals for our play...and then COVID canceled our production. We are SO EXCITED to get to FINALLY perform our play this spring! All desired materials will go towards making my students' hopes for an excellent theater program become a reality. We have an excellent cast of students who are thrilled to be performing in a play for the first time! We are also prioritizing learning about theater in general and building community. The play will be bilingual (English and Spanish) and will center around Latinx identity - which is how the majority of my students identify themselves.

We do theater with young people because, if done right, it allows us to believe in magic.

However, that magic requires supplies for set pieces, props, costumes, lighting, and so much more; this project consists of the most basic, but most important needs for this play. Through magical realism, this play brings the moon, the stars, and outer space to life. Centered around a young girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut, the show must reflect her ambition and passion! Through the materials on this wishlist, we will be able to bring her story to life!
