OUR GOAL: This annual concert season of 2017-2018 we plan to restructure a play from Guinea West Africa. “Sonah the Orphan Girl” taught and created by Yalani Bangoura of Guinea.
The fund requested will rent our performance space and rehearsal space, construct costumes and scenery, and employ the choreographer.
PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR GOAL OF $5000.00 by February 28, 2018.
We would be so grateful if you could support the young people in our area at a time when our youth are being attacked negatively in so many different ways. Collage provides a positive outlet for their creative energy.
