Julia Blashack at Roosevelt High School will use $686 for her project, “Mannequins and Drills.”

Julia plans to purchase four mannequins for draping and costume design and five impact drills for students to create hands-on theater props. In the application, she wrote, “By using the mannequins, I can showcase the basic principles of draping and costume design. I will determine success based on the number of students who can effectively drape and then transfer the drape from the mannequin to the sewing machine for costume completion. With the drills, students will create flats, mini characters, and other woodworking projects for mini or full set design.” You can see Julia’s students in action next week (May 2nd—4th) when they perform “Legally Blonde!”
