Want a safe way to TRY OUT ACTING? We several good "bit parts" you might enjoy playing. See more information below. Links: Crystal Springs Players - http://www.csumchurch.com/activities-o/umc-church-groups//... Contact Church Office - http://www.csumchurch.com/welcome-overview/contact-us/ Details on parts available: We have a series of lenten chancel dramas happening over 6 weeks starting March 16th and concluding on Easter Sunday (April 20th). We have lots of small parts which are only needed for one Sunday and one big part who is in every segment of this series. Would you like to join in the fun of helping us present this during the church services? Maybe you have been thinking about being in a chancel drama but haven't said anything and we have no idea that you are interested so we haven't asked you before. Please speak up. No experience required. Memorization not required either (although you may find it easier to do that way). Whether you have acted in a chancel drama before or not, please be sure to let Steve, Kathleen or Joy know you are interested. Especially, let us know if you are interested in the part that is in every segment. It's a delivery person, similar to a UPS guy only called "JPS." It's written for a man but could be adapted to be a woman and needs to be able to carry a medium sized object for delivery around. The plan is to, hopefully, rehearse each scene after church the week before the Sunday it is supposed to be performed. This is the breakout of what we need besides the JPS Person who is needed each Sunday: March 16th - 2 or 3 men, 1 or 2 women March 23rd: 4 women March 30th - 3 men April 6th - 4 men (could possibly substitute women for a couple people) April 13th - 4 men April 20th (Easter) - 3 people (man or woman) Please let the church office know if you are interested and what dates you are available. Thanks!
