The “It Takes More Than Actors to Create Excellence in Theatre” project will allow middle school students to design and collaborate on digital backdrops for school auditorium productions and cross-curricular presentations. This project recognizes that there are students who would like to be involved in theatre and performance, but do not feel comfortable on stage. Funding for this project will create opportunities for all kinds of student learners to feel included and connected in our performing arts programs. For the first year, this grant will have a direct impact on students involved in the theatre programs. As students become trained through a mentorship program, we will expand our collaboration with other departments and disciplines for student projects.
