Donate to FoPA and support the performing arts at BHS!

Supporting drama, dance, music, and stagecraft 

A committee of the Brookline High School PTO, FoPA is a volunteer parent organization dedicated to supporting the school’s rich diversity of performing arts activities. Our goal is to ensure that dance, drama, music, and stagecraft flourish and remain a vital part of the education that BHS offers its students. 

FoPA activities include: 
  • raising money for unfunded Performing Arts Department needs and funding grants submitted by BHS Performing Arts staff (view list of funded projects thus far)
  • building audiences through outreach to all the Brookline schools and the town via BHS publications and websites, a newsletter, and local media 
  • ticket sales, ushering, and concession sales at performances (including donating baked goods) 
  • building awareness within BHS of performing arts classes and productions 
  • advocating for sustained public funding for performing arts in Brookline
  • producing BHS community Forums—such as the April 30, 2015 Forum, "Educational Stress: A Performing Arts Solution." (Other recent forums addressed "Freedom, Responsibility, and Self-expression," and "Performing Arts Careers.")

FoPA's most recent grants funded master classes with an Alvin Ailey dancer; guest artists to teach and inspire students in our Musica y Cultura program; a new lighting board for Roberts/Dubbs Auditorium; and upgraded recording equipment for concerts.
 
Please join us in keeping BHS a community that supports the vibrant spirit of creative  expression through the performing arts. Contact us for more information or to volunteer and be part of this lively group!
