Why
Should You Become a Member of Slidell Little Theatre?
Nurture
New Artists:
Many successful actors,
directors, writers, and choreographers have launched their careers in humble,
small town playhouses. Just by attending and applauding, audiences give
up-and-coming stars the positive feedback they need to continue their artistic
pursuits.
Share
Valuable Skills:
Community theaters need more
than just cast members. Anyone that can sew a costume, paint a backdrop, build
a staircase, or edit a sound effect is a desirable addition to the company.
Novices of a particular skill, such as construction or lighting, can increase
their ability by working alongside veteran craftsmen. Likewise, experts
can enjoy sharing their knowledge and passing their craftsmanship to the next
generation.
Advertise Locally:
Small business owners should financially support playhouses, and not just for altruistic reasons. A good thirty minutes before a show, most audience members spend their time thumbing through the program, inspecting the actor bios. It’s the perfect opportunity to advertise. Theatregoers are essentially a captive audience while they scan through the program. Small business can use this time to reach hundreds of potential customers. Ad space is relatively inexpensive and will help the performing arts thrive.
Socialize with New People:
Whether you work as an assistant director, a chorus member, the star of the show or a stagehand, one thing is certain: you will meet new friends. There is something exhilarating about putting on a show. It brings people close together; it tests their skills, and it enlightens audiences. Many lifelong friendships and relationships have been formed while practicing sword fighting, stage-kissing, or falling through a trap door. There is a strong bond with all who band together to put on a play. We become friends because we work as one to tell as story.
Be Part of the Storytelling Process:
Plays are an ancient form of storytelling. It’s a creative ritual still very much alive despite the age of Youtube.
Most community theaters produce time-tested classics such as Man of La Mancha, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Romeo and Juliet. Some are light hearted; some are deep and profound. All offer a message to the audience. Classic and contemporary plays speak to us because they explore what it means to be human. Those who participate in the storytelling process can feel proud knowing they are spreading a positive message to their community.
So go audition. Offer up your skills. Advertise in the program. Contribute your time and energy. And by all means, go see a show! You’ll become a part of the vibrant, long-cherished tradition of the theatrical storytelling.
