Donations Needed

We are trying to build our program by adding commonly used items that could be used in performances. Here is a list of things that we could use in class. If you have any of these items and you don't use them, please consider donating them to the program. Basically before you throw anything away, let me know. I'd rather throw away what I don't need than you throw away what I could use.


Thanks, and I hope that your student enjoys their time in Theatre.
