MCPS H.S. Theatre Fundraiser: Bringing Broadway Home
7:30 PM (America/Denver)
Big Sky High School
Description:
On March 21, 2018, 50 MCPS theatre students, faculty, and parent-chaperones were scheduled to leave for a 6 day trip to New York City. The itinerary included five Broadway shows, tours of Radio City Music Hall and the Statue of Liberty, and other exciting prospects. Unfortunately, a massive and destructive Nor’Easter cancelled more than 4,200 flights and closed all the airports in the city. Because of this storm, we were forced to completely cancel our trip. Students have worked most of the year to raise the $2,600 they needed individually to participate in the trip. A huge portion of the trip included nonrefundable tours and show tickets; therefore we are trying to raise enough money to cover the expenses for every student who missed out on what would have been a fantastic and educational opportunity.

Among other money raising campaigns that include performances and donations, we have set up this single group Facebook fundraiser in order to recover the loss. Our goal is to raise enough money to cover what was left of the total expenses: $75,000.

If you would rather not donate via Facebook, contact Sarah DeGrandpre at sdegrandpre@mcps.k12.mt.us.
Also, please feel free to attend “Bringing Broadway Home: Combined MCPS High School Theatre Showcase,” our community building fundraising performance that will take place Friday, May 4th, at 7:30 p.m in the Big Sky High School Auditorium. Tickets are $12.00. House will open at 7:10. Although students are disheartened by the loss of the trip, we all believe that this performance is a wonderful opportunity for community building among all three MCPS theatre programs. We are all incredibly proud of our students.
