She came up with the idea to donate to the homeless shelter all proceeds from a play being performed Friday and Saturday at the school. She presented the idea to Grace McDillon, play director and Lakeview Middle School language arts teacher,
McDillon said she had the idea to do a play and took over the drama club for this semester.
“As far as my knowledge the previous plays have been free, but I wanted to use the play to support a good cause so I put it out to the kids if they knew of any outreaches they would like to support,” Miller said.
Miller wore her Fellowship Missions T-shirt and suggested funds from the play be raised for the organization.
McDillon said she thought it was a great idea.
“It’s really special and the fact that her cast members supported her and Fellowship Missions means they have totally owned this play,” McDillon said. “I have stood here and given directions, but they have brought in props and costumes and done their own makeup.”
McDillon said if every student were like members of her cast, the world would be a better place.
Miller, 14, has been a volunteer at Fellowship Mission since November and cooks breakfast for its residents every Friday.
“I like to help others and Fellowship Missions enriches lives in the name of Jesus, and it’s the reason we don’t see people homeless in Warsaw because they have a place to go,” Miller said. “It’s not about me. There are other people out there who need help getting back on their feet.”
The title of the play is “Snowed In,” and students in seventh and eighth grade are in the play. The students have been rehearsing for the play for a month and a half.
“The play is humorous, clean, moral and is a family-friendly play with a message about making a difference and helping others, and goes along really well with Fellowship Missions,” McDillon said.
The play is Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. The cost is $5 for adults; Warsaw Community Schools students and staff get in for $3; and children 5 and under as well as volunteers and associates of Fellowship Missions get in for free.
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
