Murchison Theatre Production

Theatre Production at Murchison Middle School (MMS) is a special class with unique needs.  We produce theatrical plays, which requires funding!  Funds raised help pay for costumes, make-up & hair supplies, props, set supplies, lighting supplies, maintenance of cafeteria stage, buses for UIL and Fairy Tale tour, meals for late night rehearsals, scripts & royalties fees, cast party supplies, and end of show gifts.

To support our fundraising goals we are selling items from Boon Supply, and 40% of all sales go to Theatre Arts classrooms!  We trust and love their products and think you will too.  Their products are eco-conscious, sustainably sourced, and fashion-forward. This year, sales are completely online and end September 8th.  MMS Theatre appreciates your support as it helps us support students’ arts education!
