Since 2001, CSDC has taught theatre arts to students K-12. Using the skills taught, CSDC has produced plays such as Little Women of Orchard House, This is a Test, Shakespeare!, A Century of Broadway and Peter Pan and Wendy.
With God’s blessing and direction, we envision Crystal Sea Drama Company continuing to grow in its ability to offer classes and productions in a first class facility. Crystal Sea Drama Company is dedicated to training artists in theatre arts education and performance. The students will then be able to utilize their gifts and talents to serve others in any aspect of theatre to which God calls them.
In August, 2009, we moved into our current location – a warehouse at 8414 Speedway. The space, affectionately known as “The Studio”, has been transformed into a black box rehearsal theatre complete with costume room, a privately leased art studio and classrooms.
