Countryside is starting a youth theater group this Fall called LIT (Light-Inspired Theater)! LIT is for students in grades 1-8, and we are excited to start casting and putting a stage crew together for our first musical, "The Toymaker's Gift"! The performance will be Sunday, December 8 during our 10:00 AM worship service. Rehearsals will be on Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:30 PM beginning September 8. We would love for your student(s) participate! We will hold auditions for speaking and singing roles at the September 8 rehearsal. If your child is not interested in an acting role or solo, they can choose to be in the Ensemble Chorus or the Stage Crew. We will have so much fun learning about all the aspects of theater together, and each rehearsal will have a scripture devotion and snack time. Please bring $10 per child on September 8 to help cover the cost of a show t-shirt, snacks and supplies. We look forward to working with your kids and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas through our production of "The Toymaker's Gift", written by our Worship Pastor, Jon Carmichael.
