Summer Plans

Common Grounds Drama is beginnning to recruit for the new ministry year. Here's a look at some of the changes that will be happening this year.

Summer Session. Instead of training during the ministry year, we will be running an acting couse throughout the summer, starting Saturday, July 9th. These times will be times of sharing and actually learning the craft of acting.

The other major change was our time slot. We used to meet on Sundays from 1:30pm to 4:00pm, now, we will be meeting on Saturdays from 10:00am to 12:00pm. I know this will change some things for people and hopefully more people will be able to participate.

The last two years, we have been trying to figure out how best to serve the church and God with drama. Up until last year, we were pushing towards a vision of performing on Sundays during service. We had a taste of this this past year, but it didn't exactly work out according to the vision.

What's different about this year, is we will be focusing on large productions, plays that are an hour and a half long. We've had several larger performances in the past, and all of them have been fairly successful. This format allows us numerous opportunities that we wouldn't have on Sunday mornings.

It's going to be another exciting year. If you're interested in joining drama, come out Saturday, July 9.
