Theater
Winter Musical
The Sound of Music, by Rogers and Hammerstein. A story of love, family and resistance, set against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe.
Shows will be running February 26, 27, and 28, 7:30pm, and March 7 and 8, 3pm with ticket prices at $8 for students, and $10 for adults. We will also are excited to offer a special sing-along fundraiser performance: March 1, 3:00 pm, with ticket price at $25 per person.
“The Sound of Music” Sing-along
Many of us just want to sing along when we watch a beloved musical like this one - so come and indulge your urge while also supporting a much-needed project for the Bethany theater! You can simply come as you are - or dress up as your favorite Sound of Music character for a little extra fun. During intermission, join us for Tea With Jam and Bread, and enjoy photo ops with the actors following the performance.
“Keep the Lights On” Fundraiser
Help us literally keep the lights on! Like many homes and businesses, theater lighting has made the switch to the more efficient and sustainable LED lighting. But our equipment, purchased second-hand before any of our current students were born, is not LED-compatible. This means that our lighting infrastructure is obsolete. When something stops working, we search junkyard parts to cobble it together - and that’s getting much harder to do! It is time to make the big switch, not just for theater but for all of the concerts, chapels and other events that happen in our space. This fundraiser is for phase one of our project. Our goal is $30,000, which will cover the replacement of 12 lighting instruments (including rewiring the infrastructure) and purchase a second-hand light board that can bridge the old and new lights.
Fall Play
The high school play this fall was Gathering Blue, based on the book by Lois Lowry and dramatized by Eric Coble. In this companion story to The Giver, we find a society in which children are treated as commodities, the weak are discarded, false narratives are used to control the people, and artists are manipulated by the powerful. Three gifted children discover the hidden truths and unite to create for a better future.
Shows ran on Friday, November 21, and Saturday, November 22 at 7:30pm, and Sunday, November 23, 3pm.
