"All the world's a stage...Friends, Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your
ears." I encourage one and all to embark with us on a journey through a
sixteenth century marketplace and to leisurely shop and mingle
with the vendors. Finally, we will make our way to the pit of an Elizabethan
theatre, where we will settle in with fellow groundlings just in time for a
spectacular
event.
"Shakespeare!" offers an enjoyable, approachable introduction to William
Shakepeare. Moving from the past to the present and back again, discover his
world and his realities, his life and his times. During a command performance
for Queen Elizabeth I, you will be introduced to his works through a number of
scenes and sonnets. All together, the man and his works come alive for both the
actor and the audience.
Crystal Sea Drama Company is a Christian drama troupe, currently working with
homeschoolers at Grace Point Conservatory of the Arts. We offer classes and
production opportunities for students from K-12. Our vision is to train students
to be skilled in all areas of theatre arts, so they can be "entertainment
missionaries." After they graduate from our program, they will be prepared to
serve in drama ministries in their churches, work in community theatres, or
become professional actors and technicians, so they can minister to the many in
the entertainment industry who need Jesus. In Revelations 4:4-11 and 15:2-3, the
redeemed in heaven are standing by a crystal sea in front of the throne of God.
They are worshipping Him, and the 24 elders cast their crowns at His feet. Our
desire is that this company would be a place where we can cast our talents at
the feet of our Lord in worship. Come join us!
