It’s a small school with a small budget, and we’re lucky to have any theater at all. Thanks to parent/community fundraising, we have just enough.

Just enough money to offer fourteen 45 minute rehearsals for every class play.

Just enough time to give the kids a chance to think outside the box.

Just enough volunteers to occasionally have a painted background.

Just enough rehearsals to be able to (maybe) memorize some lines and movement.

Just enough courage to regurgitate it in front of family and friends.

Just enough fun to be curious about what the play will be next year.

And then, there’s just enough money left over to do a “big” play, to audition those who really like to perform, to buy the rights for a real show and do it for the whole school. The kids have more than enough enthusiasm, making the whole thing worthwhile.
