Thank you for supporting the Performing Arts with your donation
Providing access to the Arts is key to creating well-rounded human beings. Some kids find their place in sports, some in academics, and for others, they find their place of belonging in the Arts. We strive to create an atmosphere that supports a safe space for all students to feel at home and ready to explore new skills. We aim to help the next generation of adults be well prepared and well adjusted when they step up into their own to go out into the world and do great things.
Our Thespian Troupe competes and attends workshops and state festival. There are fees associated with these experiences. One thing we are using the donations for is to cover these fees for students who are unable to pay for themselves. We want everyone to be able to experience these opportunities so we are trying to level the playing field when it comes to Thespian workshops and competitions.
The FWHS Drama Department is self-funded. We do not receive funding from the district. So ticket sales and other donations are the only way we are able to provide these performance opportunities. Shows are not cheap to produce. The rights to perform a musical cost about $3000. Then there are the materials to build the set, buy, rent or make the costumes and props. When all is said and done, the costs of putting on a musical is around $10,000.
