My Travel Story

  • Professional Development
Help a couple of teachers achieve a dream that has been over a decade in the making!  For the last 12 years, Melissa and Jodi have poured their hearts into teaching local students about the world of musical theater. They have taught hundreds of students the basics to being on stage and have longed to perfect their craft. For years, they have dreamed of attending the Broadway Teachers Workshop in New York City.  They have finally been given the 'ok 'to attend this amazing professional development opportunity... the only problem is, they have to get there first!  Through the funds they have raised for the PHMS Drama Club, the workshop is paid for, however, travel expenses are not. They are trying to reach a goal of $1700 to help off-set the cost of flight and hotel.  While in New York, they will attend a 3-day workshop where they will be exposed to numerous sessions on choreo, directing, auditioning, blocking and so much more!  They will even get to meet a few Broadway celebrities as well as attend 4 current Broadway shows.

  • ALMOST THERE!

    ALMOST THERE!
    This is a picture with one of the hundreds of kiddos we have coached and directed on stage. She started in the ensemble and it was an honor as we watched her work her way into earning the lead role in our last show! We have witnessed so many students like her. Watching confidence grow right before your eyes is a beautiful experience. The bond we create with our students is indescribable. We were blessed to get to follow this particular group of little thespians for 6 years. They are off to the high school next year where we will be cheering them on from the audience. We are almost to our goal and any little bit helps us cover expenses during the amazing 3-day professional development on teaching all things theater! We are super excited to learn choreography and have a session with actors in the current Broadway hit "The Great Gatsby!"
