Eastside Players has grown out of the local church in Eastbourne. It is a Christian group and seeks to teach the basics of Christianity through the medium of drama – although you do not have to be a Christian to take part in the club or any of the productions! |
The aims of the club are threefold:
- First to provide an affordable drama club for the children of Langney, Eastbourne: many children enjoy drama, but drama schools can be prohibitively expensive. We seek to give primary aged children the opportunity to take part in quality drama and to benefit from the confidence that comes from being involved in productions of this nature.
- Second, to give children the chance to explore Christianity through drama and to share their faith by acting it out. Productions are always based on either the Bible or on well known Christian writings, helping children to understand the meaning of the narrative on a deeper level.
- Third, to provide opportunities for children from different church backgrounds to work together and to provide a forum for Christians of different denominations to mix either in helping with the productions or in watching them!
