With these funds I will...pay for registration, lodging  and traveling expenses for my Thespian Troupe students as they attend the Texas Thespian State Festival located in Dallas, TX. 

We are only in our 2nd year of existence, yet I am trying to provide the students with as many "hands-on" theatre experiences as possible!

KIPP Houston High School Theatre students and I have been dilligently working to lay the foundation for the theatre program while utilizing the platform of theatre to inspire and enlighten others. This opportunity will open the door for students to gain a plethora of information to bring back to the theatre program that we are trying to establish at KIPP Houston High School. Students will also be provided with the following opportunities:

• College Auditions
• Workshops
• Play Marathons
• Mainstage Performances
• Nationally Acclaimed Guest Speakers
• A chance to advance to the International Thespian Society National Festival 
• Networking opportunities

These kids are intelligent leaders, and definitely share a passion for theatre. They deserve this. The only barrier is the funding. Please help us raise money! Even something as small as $1 gets us closer to our goal. :-)
