Program Needs

Equipment Performance Attire

This request is probably different than many others. I teach at a small Catholic School. Because of our size (300 students), we are limited in our arts department. Despite years of trying, we have never been able to get an official choir going. There are 8 students which sing and/or play guitar at the weekly masses for the school but that is as close as we've come. The one exception is the theatre program which I run after school. Musical Theatre has brought more kids into the arts and music than any other program we have. This year we had planned on doing Shrek, The Musical. However, I don't know if that will be a possibility now. As you can imagine, funding the program, which has always been a challenge, is even more so after Hurricane Ian. There are no "extra" funds to put towards the musical.
The main needs are costumes: Shrek, Lord Farquhar, Donkey and microphones which the students wear on stage. I had planned to fundraise for these but don't feel as though that would be the right thing to do at this moment. In our school, both teachers and students have lost cars, houses, furniture, everything. Any fundraising should be for them and our community.
I understand if this request cannot be considered; as I said, I know it's not the exact type of thing you were inquiring about. Thank you so much for your time and thoughtfulness to our community.
