THe Creative Arts Service Team
|
What is CAST?
This 8-week mission team will consist of a group of Christian young-adults (18 or older) gifted in creative arts with an emphasis on acting, music, and dancing. They will be led by adult leaders who will provide spiritual and practical guidance. Ian Evans will supervise the team over the course of the eight weeks.
Why CAST?
The objective of this team will be to use the worship arts to support the vision and mission of The Salvation Army. This would be accomplished through performing and teaching in the areas of dance, drama, vocal and music theory at various summer camps. These camps serve youth that often do not get to see much outside of the inner city or usually are unable to attend because of lack of money. In addition, previous CAST groups have performed for seniors, the handicapped and general public audiences.The summer ends with outdoor performance ministry at the Pier in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
How long is the commitment?
Usually 8 weeks starting the second week in June until the second week of August.
Is CAST for me?
We always strive for excellence but would invite you to apply even if you are unsure of your abilities. Former CAST members have said that they have learned to stretch and grow in many ways during their CAST experience.We try to look at the heart as well as a person's talent. We seek individuals with abilities such as - acting, dancing, singing, instrumental, or any combination of these but we are first and foremost a service team.
You must be at least 18 years old as of June and be active in your Corps or Church.
Will i get paid for being involved in the ministry?
Yes. A stipend is given in a lump sum in August.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Jericho
Winner of the 1983 Episcopal Drama Foundation National Drama Contest
: 30 min., 5 characters
A woman acting out the part of the Samaritan in a performance of the Good Samaritan parable finds the role too demanding and tries a succession of other parts: the person helped, the priest who passed by, and finally a robber. In each case she is confronted and challenged by the Biblical message behind the story and by the figure of Christ who appears in all the scenes. |

The World's Greatest Romance
This one woman play with music is the fast paced, light hearted story of three dynamic women of faith who are connected by their Christian beliefs and familiar music.
Susannah Wesley
She is often referred to as the "Mother of Methodism" and rightfully so! Her two famous sons John Wesley and Charles Wesley were founders of the Methodist church. Bearing 19 children, Susannah was the original "home schooler."
Fanny Crosby
Frances Jane "Fanny" Crosby was an American hymn writer and poetess, who wrote over 9000 hymns during her life. She was blind from birth.
Evangeline Booth
Evangeline Cory Booth was born in a suburb of London, England on December 25, 1865. She was the second youngest of eight children of William and Catherine Booth, founders of the Salvation Army. In 1934 Evangeline Booth became the fourth person to be elected General, world leader of the Salvation Army.
