Music, Drama, & The Arts Opportunities 

 

We need singers from late teens to your nineties to join in our 6:00 p.m. Sunday night rehearsals.

 

We’re looking for youth to start a bell choir in the fall. Participants are not required to have any formal musical training.

 

If you are proficient on one of the bluegrass instruments we can use you on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 p.m.

 

All youth with proficiency on guitar, keyboards, bass and drums are invited to meet at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday for youth praise band.

 

Youth from sixth through the twelfth grades are invited to join the youth choir, as are any adults who are dedicated to helping attain excellence through organizational, musical and disciplinary input.

 

Any adults interested in assisting Carolyn Oakes and Valerie Porter with the children’s handbells, as well as those who are interested in helping Harry Robinson with the choirs should call Harry for details. The choir and handbell ensembles alternate on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m.

 

The Bethlehem Players burst on the stage in June of 1997 with performances of Harry Chapin’s classic musical, Cottonpatch Gospel. Since then, the BUMC drama troop has mounted major productions of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown; Arsenic and Old Lace; Meet Me in St. Louis; You Can’t Take it With You; Steel Magnolias; Neil Simon’s Rumors; A Bad Year for Tomatoes; Fiddler on the Roof, Father of the Bride and most recently a spectacular production of The Sound of the Music. Staged once a year in the spring, auditions are open to everyone in the community with additional opportunities to assist with lighting, stage construction, costuming, etc. The Bethlehem Players also participate in worship and special holiday ministries.
