ALL THINGS THEATRE

**NEW** ACT (Association of Christian Thespians)

Trinity Christian School has the honor of hosting a new club here in Coweta County, bringing together students who are passionate about both theatre and their faith. The Association of Christian Thespians, or ACT, was founded by MJ Poling, a Junior and active member of Troupe 8184 here at TCS, with the vision of creating a space where Christian thespians can connect, grow, and worship together. "If someone were to ask me to sum up who I am in two words, my response would be simple: theater and Jesus," MJ shared in her invitation to others. "As an actor and a Christian, I have always wrestled with what it looks like to join these two parts of my life. How can I make theater a part of my faith journey? How does my faith affect how I approach theater and performance?" Through conversations with her peers, MJ realized that others shared the same longing, leading to the birth of ACT.

Our first and inaugural meeting for ACT took place this past week on March 6th, with 13 students from three local schools—Trinity Christian, Whitewater, and Northgate. The topic for the evening was offering ourselves as living sacrifices, reminding students of their purpose both as performers and as followers of Christ. "Do what you do to the best of your ability – that is worship to the Lord," MJ encouraged the group, emphasizing the idea that excellence in theatre can be a form of worship when done with the right heart. She also challenged them to rethink where their worth comes from, stating, "You're not waiting for the applause from people anymore – that is not where your worth comes from. God's applause is all we should look for."

Looking ahead, ACT is excited to continue providing a space for Christian thespians to meet, worship, and learn together. The next meeting will take place in April, where more topics on faith and theatre will be explored through discussions, worship, and messages from both students and guest speakers. ACT is more than just a club; it's a community where students can bond over their shared love for theatre and Jesus, strengthening their faith and their craft together. 

If you feel led to support this growing club or have more questions, please reach out to Lizzie Perez at lizzie.perez@tcslions.org.

Save the Date for our Spring Showcase! Our Middle and High School students are preparing songs from different musicals to show off their incredible talent! Performances will be April 25-26 in the MPR! Ticket sales coming soon!

Drama Club is back in full swing! This semester, we have expanded our programming to offer unique experiences for our 1st-3rd graders and 3rd-5th graders! While capacity has been met, save the date to attend the shows at the end of our semester!

ALL THINGS THEATRE

**NEW** ACT (Association of Christian Thespians)

Trinity Christian School has the honor of hosting a new club here in Coweta County, bringing together students who are passionate about both theatre and their faith. The Association of Christian Thespians, or ACT, was founded by MJ Poling, a Junior and active member of Troupe 8184 here at TCS, with the vision of creating a space where Christian thespians can connect, grow, and worship together. "If someone were to ask me to sum up who I am in two words, my response would be simple: theater and Jesus," MJ shared in her invitation to others. "As an actor and a Christian, I have always wrestled with what it looks like to join these two parts of my life. How can I make theater a part of my faith journey? How does my faith affect how I approach theater and performance?" Through conversations with her peers, MJ realized that others shared the same longing, leading to the birth of ACT.

Our first and inaugural meeting for ACT took place this past week on March 6th, with 13 students from three local schools—Trinity Christian, Whitewater, and Northgate. The topic for the evening was offering ourselves as living sacrifices, reminding students of their purpose both as performers and as followers of Christ. "Do what you do to the best of your ability – that is worship to the Lord," MJ encouraged the group, emphasizing the idea that excellence in theatre can be a form of worship when done with the right heart. She also challenged them to rethink where their worth comes from, stating, "You're not waiting for the applause from people anymore – that is not where your worth comes from. God's applause is all we should look for."

Looking ahead, ACT is excited to continue providing a space for Christian thespians to meet, worship, and learn together. The next meeting will take place in April, where more topics on faith and theatre will be explored through discussions, worship, and messages from both students and guest speakers. ACT is more than just a club; it's a community where students can bond over their shared love for theatre and Jesus, strengthening their faith and their craft together. 

If you feel led to support this growing club or have more questions, please reach out to Lizzie Perez at lizzie.perez@tcslions.org.

Save the Date for our Spring Showcase! Our Middle and High School students are preparing songs from different musicals to show off their incredible talent! Performances will be April 25-26 in the MPR! Ticket sales coming soon!

ALL THINGS THEATRE

**NEW** ACT (Association of Christian Thespians)

Trinity Christian School has the honor of hosting a new club here in Coweta County, bringing together students who are passionate about both theatre and their faith. The Association of Christian Thespians, or ACT, was founded by MJ Poling, a Junior and active member of Troupe 8184 here at TCS, with the vision of creating a space where Christian thespians can connect, grow, and worship together. "If someone were to ask me to sum up who I am in two words, my response would be simple: theater and Jesus," MJ shared in her invitation to others. "As an actor and a Christian, I have always wrestled with what it looks like to join these two parts of my life. How can I make theater a part of my faith journey? How does my faith affect how I approach theater and performance?" Through conversations with her peers, MJ realized that others shared the same longing, leading to the birth of ACT.

Our first and inaugural meeting for ACT took place this past week on March 6th, with 13 students from three local schools—Trinity Christian, Whitewater, and Northgate. The topic for the evening was offering ourselves as living sacrifices, reminding students of their purpose both as performers and as followers of Christ. "Do what you do to the best of your ability – that is worship to the Lord," MJ encouraged the group, emphasizing the idea that excellence in theatre can be a form of worship when done with the right heart. She also challenged them to rethink where their worth comes from, stating, "You're not waiting for the applause from people anymore – that is not where your worth comes from. God's applause is all we should look for."

Looking ahead, ACT is excited to continue providing a space for Christian thespians to meet, worship, and learn together. The next meeting will take place in April, where more topics on faith and theatre will be explored through discussions, worship, and messages from both students and guest speakers. ACT is more than just a club; it's a community where students can bond over their shared love for theatre and Jesus, strengthening their faith and their craft together. 

If you feel led to support this growing club or have more questions, please reach out to Lizzie Perez at lizzie.perez@tcslions.org.

Tim Hurt - Performing Arts Director

 

“Bearing the image of the Creator as we cultivate creativity.”

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Music brings out a multitude of emotions.  Throughout our concert season we pray you will experience joy, wonder, peace, maybe some dissonance, and resolution by the end of each song.  Throughout each grade and each performance, we strive to show the progression of the musician, from our little Lions as beginner instrumentalists and vocalists, to the older grades and several years of experience under our belts.  Through it all, we hope to show the passion of our students for the Arts as this comes alive in each of our programs.

Christmas brings out a multitude of emotions as well.  Some of these are exactly the same: joy, wonder, peace, maybe some dissonance, and hopefully resolution as we navigate the season together.  We are a family at Trinity, and we love to take this journey with each of your students.  And also with you, our parents and faculty!  It is such an honor for us to have a like-minded faith as we do this.  It is a blessing to have freedom to proclaim Christ.  And it is amazing to see God at work openly in each of your students.  We are praying for each of you, for our Trinity community, that we will experience God’s Presence in amazing ways this holiday season, and be a vessel to show His love to a hurting world in the process.  May God bless you richly!  Emmanuel, God is with us!!
