With grant support from the Carpenter Foundation, Oregon Arts Commission, Bloomfield Family Foundation and Juan Young Trust, over 143 students at Crater High School in Central Point participated in Teatro Milagro's UNIDAD curriculum of self, community, and future.
The Land Lab at Crater High had seventy-four students engaged in the UNIDAD curriculum. In these classes students used art to create their vision of "utopia," participated making recycled paper, and created their own eco-dramas about local environmental issues. Students created sustainable communities inspired by Puerto Rico, Japan, and Narnia. It was a very creative exercise that allowed student to stretch their imaginations about futuristic societies. The Land Lab students also had a lot of fun making paper and their own eco-dramas. They created skits that were used as a springboard to discuss the issues the scenes presented. The student preformed their eco-dramas outside after the performance of B'aktun 13. Students discussed environmental issues that pertained specifically to Central Point, such as fishing regulations and not snagging, and pollution in Bear Creek among other things. The programs and residency was greatly appreciated by the students and staff at Crater High.
