Join Searchlight

We Want You!

Literally ANYONE can join Searchlight Theatre! We need people who love the Lord and love theatre (or at least are curious about it) to help in a variety of ways!

Actors:
We can use actors of all ages, races, sizes, shapes and acting abilities! Even if you have never been involved in theater before, we would love to be the channel through which you learn! One of the goals of Searchlight Theatre is to teach people to act, to build those actor’s self-confidence on stage and to give people an outlet for creative expression that glorifies God!

Scriptwriting:
So far, we’ve only had one person take Kathy up on her offer to co-write a play (Ryan Klar), but we KNOW there are more of you out there who have skills in this area. And part of our vision is to develop new writers, too! If you want to try it, we are TOTALLY open whatever level of writing you’re comfortable with - even if you would just like to learn how to write or experiment with writing, Kathy would be happy to work with you on scriptwriting.

Music & Choreography:We have finally started to write our own musicals!! We have a few very talented songwriters involved already, but we can always use more!! And as far as choreography goes, we have basically made do with just kind of making it up as we go along. If you have ANY experience in dance at all and want to help us choreograph, we would love that! If you would like to help with songwriting, playing music (with any instrument!), singing or choreography, please let us know!

Set Design & Construction:The Set Construction Crew has a blast headed up by Shannon Klar! The time commitment is fairly low, but really intense. For full length plays, the whole set crew works one or two really loooong intense days the week before the play. For shorter sketches, we only use one or two people for a couple of hours, depending on the set involved.

Lighting & Sound:
For many of our plays, we need specific help with lighting and sound. If you would like to help with either one of these, please let us know!

Video Taping:We are always in desperate need of people who know (or can learn!) how to work a video camera and would be willing to tape all of our plays. If you know how to edit and want to edit or even want to learn how, we would LOVE that too!!

Costumes & Props:
Most of our plays are contemporary, but there are times when we do period pieces. And there are always some costumes or props which need to be homemade - like the ugliest Christmas sweater known to man or a tree – or hunted down – like finding a spaceman helmet or a dog costume! If you can sew or use a hot glue gun or like to shop and hunt for strange things, this is the category for you!

To sign up...
To offer your help in any of these categories, simply email (kathy@gspc.net) or call (704-364-1234) our Director, Kathy Larson, with the category with which you would like to help and your phone number and email address and she will put you on the list for your category and call on you when needed!
