It is a combined school effort with art students creating backdrops, the band performing the accompaniment, the choir forming the ensemble, and building construction building sets. As one can imagine it is a big undertaking and many supplies are needed. With very little funding on hand, Mrs. McGuire turned to DonorsChoose.org to request materials needed for the musical. Unsure of how successful such a venture would be, it seemed worth a shot. On November 11th, just 2-3 days after posting the project, she received an email stating that the entire project had been funded by Pageland's own Broadway star, Patina Miller. Patina messaged with the following quote: "I'm giving because my hope is that you, Mrs. McGuire will inspire your students to be who they want to be. Acting/Musical theatre is my life and its afforded me any wonderful experiences that I hope your students get to experience someday if they choose to go down this path!" Thank you, Patina Miller, for supporting the work we are doing at Central and being such a great role model for our arts students and representative of our town! Because of this generous gift, we now have the materials needed to make this dream a reality. "Little Shop of Horrors" will be performed April 29-30th at 7 p.m. at Central High School's gymnasium.
