ActingUp4Christ theatre company was started by and is owned by the Director - Rosemary Giordano, many years ago as a theatre ministry for homeschool children. The program has proudly grown bigger and bigger through the years and was the cornerstone of Inspire. ActingUp4Christ  is a quality theatre class for homeschoolers that through the course of the year-long program produces a full length play suitable for a Christian environment.  Our focus is using our talents and gifts to glorify God through theater, music and art while using theater as a ministry. While the ministry may have have been transplanted and grown through God's tender care, this is the same theatre ministry parents and students have grown to love over the years Rosemary has been teaching!

Once our cast of students are in place, we will chose a play appropriate for the number of students and skill level within the classroom. We try to choose plays that are well known (Broadway-hits) or adaptations of well known literary classics. The plays are well suited for a Christian family audience

 

Final date for the play – TBA but will be in Spring/LATE April 2019
 

No experience is necessary - ALL children who join are guaranteed a role in the play, however we are restricted to the number of children we can accept. Roles are filled by audition; the audition is not to see who is the best actor or singer, but to get an idea of your strengths and to see the best fit for the part. 

 

Parent Participation – In order to make it the best production possible, all families are expected to participate in some form in bringing their talents together to make the final production happen.  Sewing costumes, baking snacks, painting sets or selling tickets – we each have been blessed by God with a talent we can share.
 

Costumes – We believe in a “beg, borrow, find before buy philosophy”. ActingUp4Christ has many costume pieces; however you may be required to find/purchase some personal-use pieces for your child such as costume pieces, tights, or make-up. You will also be expected to provide your own ballet, character or jazz shoes for the show.
 

Scripts – Since we are a class and only meet once a week, the students “workbooks” are their scripts and their “homework” is learning their lines.  Students consistently not being prepared, whether by not having scripts in class, not having their lines memorized, or by missing rehearsals or being late, they will run the risk of having their parts switched with another student.

 

Tickets - All families will be REQUIRED to sell 15 tickets to the play. Table seats do not count in the ticket total.
