Bright Lights Theatre serves families in the Dallas area. Most of our programming is located in North Dallas, but all are welcome. Our programming is geared toward students in PreK4-12th grade. Our summer camps include incoming preK4-8th grade students (with an opportunity for high schoolers to serve as camp counselors); our productions are available to 2nd-12th graders; and our masterclasses and workshops vary by topic. In every program, we train our students to pursue excellence in every aspect of theatre (including on-stage skills and technical theatre skills) and teach them how to see God's Big Story in every story we tell. This prepares them to see the gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere and be able to articulate those truths to their family, friends, co-workers, and possibly future cast mates. 

Our Needs

Bright Lights' is in a period of growth. By God's grace, the number of families we serve is increasing two-fold with every semester that passes. Our primary needs are as follows: 

1. SCHOLARSHIP FUND: We desire to make scholarships available for families whose students desire to participate but for whom the tuition would be a burden. 

2. FACILITIES RENT: We desire a space that can accommodate all our program needs over which we have full control. God is providing immense growth in the number of students we have the opportunity to train, which means our facility needs are expanding beyond what the schedules of our busy church partners can accommodate.  In order to continue providing programs that can truly train any student who is interested with excellence and intentionality, we need to find our own facility. We aim to do so within the coming year.   

3. STAFF COMPENSATION: We desire to compensate our faithful theatrical and theological laborers for their expertise and hard work as they seek to disciple and train our students for God's glory and their good.  

All of these desires necessitate financial partners who are willing to GIVE GENEROUSLY and PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. Your prayers are coveted and your gifts (no matter the size) will have a tremendous impact for good!
