Staged in Kuwait is always looking for new volunteers, onstage and off. So why get involved?
Well, the answer is simple. Becoming a thespian, director, stagehand, costumer, prop master or stage manager in an amateur dramatics group has far more benefits than you probably ever realised.
A New Social Network
One of the strongest appeals of amateur theatre is that you don’t have to necessarily be a fantastic actor, incredible dancer or phenomenal singer to join a group of likeminded theatre-lovers. In fact, most of the people with whom you’ll be working will be much like you regardless of their ages, genders, or home lives. People who just want the opportunity to make theatre and, with that in common, you will have an instant connection. Discover a new set of friends and acquaintances through our activities.
Self-Esteem Boost
It’s the rare person who does not feel more appreciated and inwardly heartened during and after an amateur dramatics stint. Quite honestly, the majority of individuals feel more confident and self-assured than they were before. It’s the magic of theatre and the teamwork that goes with am-dram work.
Educational Opportunities Galore
Getting involved in amateur dramatics involves a good amount of studying and “homework”. Whether you’re an actor, director, set designer or costumer, you’ll need to conduct research and attend many rehearsals. You’ll be expected to know the script, the production’s era and similar items intimately. This kind of education will broaden your horizons in ways you might never imagine.
This type of self-motivated schooling has no boundaries; not surprisingly, it can become very addictive… in a good way.
Mental Discipline and Teamwork
The notion of teamwork is essential among the players of any theatre group. From day one, you’ll have commitments and expectations. True, they might not be too involved or complicated, but they will be important nonetheless. Forget to do something, and the whole production could be affected.
Consequently, most people involved in amateur theatre find themselves becoming masters at juggling a number of different projects. They know that to operate as a team, they cannot let anyone down, so they do whatever is needed to support their theatrical brethren.
No More Excuses… It’s Time to Get Started!
The more you put into your theatrical experience, the more advantages you’ll receive. Getting involved with Staged in Kuwait won’t necessarily change your life, but it certainly has the potential to completely alter your perspective and introduce you to some amazing new people.
