About

Christians face unique challenges — and opportunities — when working in the theatre. Christians In Theatre Arts (CITA) has been organized to give Christians a continent-wide support network of other believers who are also theatre artists. Whether you’re leading or participating in a church drama ministry, or teaching at a high school or college, or working in the professional theatre; whether you’re a performer, director, designer or playwright, CITA is dedicated to serving you!

CITA exists so that all of its members have access to information:

• in order to deepen their integration of faith and theatre
• in order to improve the quality of their work
• in order to engage the culture through their theatre

CITA specifically strives to serve two groups of people:

Students/emerging artists

CITA exists so that students/emerging artists can:

• have a connecting point with the community of academics/professionals
  • to mentor and model
  • to provide encouragement
• learn to integrate their faith and art
• set career and artistic goals both vocationally and avocationally
• experience practical opportunities and training to prepare them for success

Working/established artists:

CITA exists so that working and established artists (in academic, non profit and for profit companies) have a space and time for continuing education, professional encouragement and artistic and spiritual inspiration by:

• recognizing and honoring their excellence in the theatre
• providing a venue for the exchange of works, resources and information
• providing opportunities to use their gifts in service to the Kingdom of God
