Investor

Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.

McFall Family - $1,000.00

Goal

This is my 4th year as the Director of Theatre at Deltona High School and one of my goals is to continue to build the program by giving students additional creative opportunities inside and outside the classroom. This year is our 2nd year offering Technical Theatre Design and Production. This class has been created to support the technical needs of our productions. We continue to strive to have professional productions to engage our community!

What will be done with my students

Students will be supporting our shows by creating costumes, props, and set pieces as well as designing lights and sound. Our mainstage musical of the year is The Addams Family amongst other productions! This particular show has an immense number of technical needs including elaborate sets, lighting, costumes, and props. This is a wonderful opportunity to integrate technology with the arts. In addition, we will have students in various stage crew leadership positions (Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager, Assistant Director, Assistant Music Director, Dance Captain, Publicity Coordinator, Props Coordinator, Costume Coordinator, Lights and Sound Coordinators, Hair/Makeup). Our students will need the tools to be successful in their leadership positions.

Benefits to my students

Our students will explore the technical aspects of the show by using critical thinking skills and collaboration when creating and designing.

TH.912.F.3.5 Monitor the tasks in the creative and design processes and analyze ways those processes might be applied in the workforce.

TH.912.O.1.1 Research and analyze a dramatic text by breaking it down into is basic, structural elements to support development of a directorial concept, characterization, and design.

TH.9.12.S.3.2 Exercise artistic discipline and collaboration to achieve ensemble in rehearsal and performance.

TH.912.O.3.6 Apply standard drafting conventions for scenic, lighting, and sound design to create production design documents.

Budget Narrative

We will need to purchase lumber, supplies, paint, tools, costumes, props, and set pieces needed to support the technical needs of our productions. We thank you for your support!
