Department of Theatre collaborates with Project Lighthouse for a performance that re-envisions civic society

The culminating event of a semester-long collaboration between CCU’s Department of Theatre and Project Lighthouse, a drop-in center for homeless youth in Horry County, was in the Edwards Theatre Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 24, at 3 p.m. The theatrically devised performances were designed to involve the audience in civic dialogue.

Through workshops involving students in the Department of Theatre and participants with Project Lighthouse, stories and experiences light the way toward a re-envisioning of the societal structures that perpetuate homelessness in order to transform our community through civic engagement.
