Hello! My name is Rosa Schneider, and I am proud to teach English and Drama at Urban Academy Laboratory High School, a unique alternative high school in New York City. I'm working with Rachel Wyatt and Anson Dean.

For 26 years, Urban has been home to an extraordinary tradition: producing a full musical in just three weeks. For many of our students, it's their first time stepping onto a stage, learning choreography, or building a set. It's a whirlwind of music, movement, and creativity, and it's truly life-changing.

This year our students are determined to put on an incredible show! But we can stop worrying about choreography if we can bring back Alrick Thomas, our talented choreographer to teach them iconic moves. Alrick worked on our last production and was excellent with the students. He pushed them out of their comfort zone and brought the show to life with energy and professionalism.

Your donation will help us hire him back and continue this beloved tradition, giving our students an unforgettable experience in theatre. We're aiming to raise $2000 to cover his fee and make sure he is paid what he deserves. No contribution is too small—every dollar helps us turn dreams into reality.

Thank you for supporting the arts at Urban Academy!
