The Villages - September 2017 - 24

And that's the important take-away from this
group - it's a learning experience and a workshop
environment, Prior said.
Patrons of the group not only are aware but also are
welcoming of new members and, just as the group's
mission states, they are ready and willing to participate
and learn about all aspects of play production.
This group allows members to dabble in whatever
aspect of theater intrigues them, whether it is lights,
sound, acting, directing, writing or props.
"We are always looking for new people and they are
only limited by their desires," Prior said. "If they say they
want to help and they want to do this or that, then they
are in."
Barb Pearson, of the Village of Chatham, first became
a member three years ago when she attended a one-act
play and began working behind the scenes with props.
She soon became an assistant director, began
acting in plays and now serves as the company's vice
president.
"There's a lot of opportunity to learn every aspect of
the theater you might be interested in, because they are
always looking for volunteers and are very welcoming
and helpful," she said.
The company also gives back generously to charities
in the area, which members cherish.
Prior loves being a part of a theater company that
puts on great shows, gives back to the community and
fosters new friendships.

"I enjoy the camaraderie because it brings people
together who did not know each other," she said.
"You also feel good at working on something that's an
entertaining experience for other people and then you
get to give money away."
Her passion for the magic of theater continues to
grow each day with her fellow company members.
"It's the experience that you're sharing with the
audience," she said. "You create an experience out
of nothing. You create this imaginary world for a few
minutes and you bring the audience with you."
