"...The real action comes next: The main character in this drama--compared to Him I'm a mere stagehand--will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out." ~ John the Baptist Matthew 3:11 (The Message) Drama is used at West Side in a number of areas. Smaller sketches are performed on Sunday mornings to enhance the pastor's message. Full-scale, multiple performance productions are put on during Easter and Christmas as outreach events.    Dinner theater projects have been fun and well-received. Drama team members are also encouraged to participate in Vacation Bible School, Music & Drama camp and related ministries. Colossians 3:23 ~ "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord, not for men." The same standards required of choir and band members are applied to the drama ministry. We strive for excellence in every production and have carefully scheduled rehearsals toward that end. With larger productions come other opportunities for people wishing to be involved in a non-performing arena. Stage crews are always required for: set design & construction decoration costuming and make-up props sound and lights For more information on any of these "behind-the-scenes" crews, contact Lettie Schmidt Print off an Application Form to join any of the Worship & Arts ministries. ACTORS WANTED! The drama department is always working to put together Sunday sketches to provide live illustrations for the message. And we’d love to have you involved—but we need to know who you are! The commitment for a Sunday morning sketch is fairly predictable. The director will contact you to get you the script as far in advance as they can (usually that’s two weeks) and you’ll be expected to learn your lines as soon as possible. They will then work out a rehearsal schedule with the cast, which will usually include a Saturday tech rehearsal (microphones, props, etc.) the day before the Sunday performance. Our one requirement would be that you complete an application form and turn it in to Belinda in the church office. This gives us an opportunity to look at your performing background and talk with you about your experience, however limited that may be! You don’t have to be an award-winning actor, just someone willing to give back to the Lord’s use the talents that He’s given you. We’re looking forward to hearing from you...
