KIPP Bloom Presents: The Lion King

Donation protected
Hello Family and Friends!

It's here!  KIPP Bloom College Prep's Second Annual Spring Musical rehearsals have begun!

Last year, KIPP Bloom put on Disney Jr.'s High School Musical.  This musical had a profound affect on our school, the students and their families, and the community of Englewood.  Before last year, our school did not have an arts program, but due to the generosity and hard work of donors, teachers, students, and other volunteers, we were able to put on a wonderful show despite the initial lack of resources!

This year, we will be performing Disney Jr.'s The Lion King!  We are really excited to put on such an exciting show!!!  This show is a very large production with about 50 actors/actresses/dancers, 10 stage crew members, 4 directors, and countless more families and friends who will volunteer to help with the elaborate set and costumes that need to be created.

However, again, we are starting with very minimal resources.  This musical will require a lot of time and money to make the set and the costumes, as well as scripts and music for the students involved.  We are depending on the generosity of people from near and far to help our KIPPster's Lion King dreams come true!!!

If you would like to help out, any donation, no matter how big or how small will help!  The money you donate will go directly to the musical in various ways.  It may provide a costume for Simba, Nala, or Zazu, or perhaps it will help build the Elephant Graveyard, or maybe it will provide the paint needed to create the masks for the Wilddbeest Stampede!  (Want your money to go to something specific, let us know!)

Additionally, if you have creativity or talents that can help our show in some way, that is fantastic!  If you would like to create a costume for the show and send it to Chicago, you are more than welcomed to.  You can send me a message directly to let me know if this is something that you are interested in, which costume you want to make, and I can send you the measurements of the student.  We already have Rafiki's costume being created in New York, which shows that help can be offered from both near and far :)

KIPP Bloom and the musical cast and crew appreciate, deeply, any and all donations in any form that they are given.  The students in the musical will work hard to make this show an enormous success, and throughout this journey, we will continue to update our network of donors and volunteers on the progress with the show!! 

Thank you so much in advance to all!

Love,
Elizabeth Roe
