Thanks to your generous donation we were able to find creative lighting solutions for our production of The Addams Family and Prism Concert. In addition, we were able to purchase film equipment for our Film Club.

Our lightboard does not work at this time, so the purchase of the par light stands helped our audience see our performers during The Prism Concert. Furthermore, we have collaborated with Timbercrest Elementary students and we were able to purchase tree branches, candles, stars, and moons so they could illuminate the auditorium during some of the The Addams Family scenes.

Lastly, our Film Club is in it's 3rd year. Our students have been working very hard to film short films. We have three projects underway. We are excited to use the professional film equipment to help support our films.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Our Film Club is in our 3rd year and has grown! We have been creating short films and are now in need of professional camera equipment.

In addition, we are hoping to create light projections and purchase additional lights for our mainstage musical, The Addams Family.

Lastly, I recently attended a professional development for lights through Volusia County and would like to purchase lights to support our technical lights lesson in our Honors Class.

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to produce higher quality films with the newly purchased equipment. In addition, light projections and additional light equipment will add production value to our production of The Addams Family.

Benefits to my students

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