Drama
Saddleback Theatre Connection (STC)
A ministry of actors, directors, writers and production crew seeking to use their gifts to glorify God through theatre experiences that connect us to each other and to our community.
The Drama Team
This is an auditioned group that performs at all STC projects. It includes actors who have
successfully completed the audition process, have completed at least CLASS 101, and who
regularly attend (and call as their church home) SVCC. When joining the Drama Team members
must make a 4 month commitment to attend monthly meetings. Persons not able to attend
a meeting can make up their absence by attending the SIP class. Two SIP attendances are
required to make-up for each SET meeting missed.
For more information on the Drama Team, contact Jeremy Barnes (jeremybbarnes@cox.net).
SNAP (Short Notice Actor Productions)
This group of actors is selected from the Drama Team for their ability to perform with little or no rehearsal/ preparation time. SNAP members perform at any event that has a short lead time (less than 1 week). Additionally, SNAP members are exclusively used for weekend service performances in the Worship Center. SNAP members have the same attendance, commitment, and CLASS requirements as The Drama Team. For more information on SNAP, contact Jeremy Barnes (jeremybbarnes@cox.net).
