Discipline Tracks 

Theatre in Worship
Tom Long (Friends of the Groom), Jocelyn Sluka (Friends of the Groom), Harvey Johnson (Geneva College), Pris McDonald (Master Arts Theatre), Kim Messer (Freelance Consultant and Writer)
 

This track will focus on three areas:

1) The nuts and bolts of maintaining a theatre worship team including planning worship experiences, directing amateur actors, rehearsing effectively, and locating material.

2) Effective techniques for integrating theatre into worship including staging scripture, using video, and creating pieces for all parts of the service.

3) How to keep the main thing the main thing: The purpose and theology of theatre in worship.

Participants will learn by doing as they experience a balance of inspiration, practical advice, and useful “how to” demonstrations—as well as time to share ideas and resources with others doing similar work.
