3/25/08 New Skit:
This Sunday, join us for an original skit as Adam and Bob Whitely have a ball performing at both the 9 am and 11am service at Meadows Fellowhip Four Square Church in Las Vegas. We haven't been no stage in a few months, but we've been quite busy organizing upcoming projects, writing and preparing. Keep an eye out for a big project coming in April: Family Fun Night! The event will include a free dinner and dessert, 3 original Drama Guild movies, prizes, a game or two, special music and more! More details to follow soon.

Update:
We have temporarily closed the
forum due to excessive spam. We'll
reopen as soon as we can find time
to clean it all up so that it can
be a safe place again. If you feel
inclined, please pray that our
forum and others like it will be
able to be effective communication
centers for God's glory, rather
than a place for those that are
bored or hate God to come and trash
up. Pray also for those who are
filling the internet with filth
- they need our help!
Currently, we see approximately
2,000 spam accounts created (or more) for every 1 post that
is made. In order to protect you from filth, we have made
the forum harder to access, (when it's open, that is) which
means that when you create an account, it takes you longer
to get authorized and allowed in. We're quite good at spotting
spammers, but it does take time to sift through them.
We're
sorry for the inconvenience - it's a result of spammers
ruining the internet for everyone else. We can't block
them from making an account, only from posting on our forum
- it's not perfect, but it's the best we can do.
Do you
want a place to share your ideas, questions and concerns?
If so, please post when we come back online - it will be
an encouragement to us to keep moving forward!

A morning of Drama!:
No
Boundaries was too fun! So, we are off and running for
our next production, called: Warning Signs A Christmas Story,
an original tale by Bob Whitely, which we'll be performing
at Meadows Fellowship, December 23rd at both the 9 and
11 am services. For more info, email us!

No Boundaries:
Mark your calendars for
October 7th! Our latest original skit, "No Boundaries", is a comedy you don't want to miss! Kelley Page, Judy Donnelson (welcome aboard!), and Bob Whitely give a glimpse of what happens when you just can't seem to say, "No!" A
great tale that kicks off a special series at Meadows focusing
on freedom through boundaries. Wait, how can you have freedom
within boundaries? Stick around and you'll find out! Bob
reprises the role of Danny Lahmoe (Twice Born and others),
who learns about the need for boundaries the hard way. Check
it out. Good stuff!

Positions Available:
We are still looking to fill key positions within the Drama Guild admin, as well as stage crews, sound and lighting techs, and yes actors. Got drama? Let's serve God together!

Secret Lives:
We have finally kick-started the Secret Lives section. (Hey, we have lives too!) This section of the website takes aim at the lives of the characters (not the actors), and what it is that they are up to when they are not in our skits and plays. Sometimes we'll give more of a timeline or overview like we did this time, and sometimes we'll go in depth, telling a story you won't read anywhere else!
We'll also be using this section from time to time to spotlight other continuity aspects of the Drama Guild Universe. This first installment focuses on two characters who will be appearing in an upcoming podcast: Judy Bender (her brother Bob appeared in Survivor: Wasteland) and David Mosley, who appeared first in The Martian Reporter. Next, we'll start fleshing out other areas of the site (an article, time permitting), then return to Secret lives to spy on the fictional lives of some of your favorite personalities. Enjoy!

Kidz Klub Episode 1 "What's the Big Deal?":
Mark your calendars or pda's - July 29th marks our first Kidz Klub skit! "What's the Big Deal?" Will be performed at both the 9am and 11am services at Meadows Fellowship. If your church would like to be blessed by this skit and others, contact us!
We're very excited about this new skit series that stars kids. Oh, you'll see an adult from time to time, but the focus is all on the kids. We figured it was about time to let our young actors leap into action - and we're not the only ones! They are very anxious to serve God and spread the good news! Why should adults get to have all the fun? Kids can touch lives and change hearts too, so why not let them? Our only regret is that we didn't think of this sooner!
We trust viewers of all ages will enjoy these skits. Just because they are performed by kids doesn't mean that kids are the only ones who will enjoy them! We'll tell you more about this new series over the next few months. Let us know what you think!

Better Than Science Fiction:
Coming up Easter Sunday, we'll be performing this skit based on a script by Bob Snook and set squarely in the Drama Guild universe with a tip of the hat to Bob Bender from Survivor: Wasteland and a fun time with Kelley Page (Stress Factory) and Bob Whitely.

3/8/07 Drama
Fellowship:
March 25th we'll have our next Drama Fellowship, so whether you are looking to serve God on stage or back stage, we have positions available for you! We also have acting parts for people who just want to dabble in drama! And ... we even have administrative positions including Asst. Director and Asst Drama Coordinator, Props Master and others! Hope to see you there. Questions? Email us!
2/1/07 Drama
Potluck Fellowship:
Mark your calendars ... coming up February 11th is
our February Drama Fellowship! Due to various circumstances,
we'll be holding another Orientation at that time as
well. This is pretty rare - we
hold very few Orientations during the year, and it's
a good chance to get in on the ground floor, get up-to-date,
and get rolling. Didn't get an invitation to February's
big bash? Email us! This will NOT be held at Meadows
Fellowship, so contact us if you need directions. We're
getting ready to cast a skit and a play. Want in?
See you on the 11th! Can't make it, contact us and
we'll see what we can do! Keep an eye out here and
in the forums for updates (from time to time we have
to post changes to dates and times).

Drama Orientation & Fellowship:
As promised, this Sunday at 2pm, we'll be holding our first 2007 Drama Orientation. We only hold these a few times a year, so now is the perfect time to jump on board. We'll also be updating memberships for existing members at this time. Let's make it a great year! Oh, and don't forget at 2:50pm we'll be holding our regular Drama Fellowship. Don't miss it - we're going to have a blast!

Forum Update:
It has come to our attention that some of our members are not sure how to create an account on the forums - just drop Bob Whitely an email and I'll fill you in - it's real easy! And Posting is just a click away - ask our spammers. We've been nailed dozens of times lately (don't they have anything better to do, like act in a play or something? Due to spamming, if we see a forum member not posting, we'll wait a little while, and then assume it's a spammer. Also, we will remove posts that do not have at least a little to do with drama (since there are other, better forums out there for non drama topics) and we don't tolerate intentional mistreatment of the forums as some spammers have now found out. So, that said, join in and have fun discussing drama and brainstorming ways we can make a difference for Christ! Don't let the spammers do all the posting, and don't make me keep talking to myself forever, let's chat!

Membership Restructuring:
Our kettle has been shaken up somewhat over these last few months, resulting in a bit of restructuring of the ministry. During our January Drama Fellowship we will be introducing 2 new processes: A new membership application that must be filled out by all existing and new members, and a new status tracker that will affect the way casting and auditions are handled. We'll discuss the Why and How they work at the next fellowship.
Don't miss our next fellowship as we move forward into an exciting new year! Thanks again to all who participated in the Christmas play, and to those who've patiently been waiting for their chance to serve or have been cast for a future role, we think you'll be pleased to know it won't be long now!
1/7/07
January Drama Fellowship:
The Drama Guild has tentatively scheduled the January Drama Fellowship for 1/21 2-4pm. We'll confirm this within the next 72 hours. We would love for you to join us for a wonderful time of fellowship and brainstorming for upcoming projects. We will be finalizing the casting for our next play and discuss options for 2 or 3 skits, hold an orientation for new members and other cool stuff. We are planning a potluck for our February Drama Fellowship, so keep an eye out for more on that!
