Students in the Department of Theatre at Coastal Carolina University spent the semester collaborating with Project Lighthouse in Myrtle Beach to create performances meant to re-envision civic society.

Project Lighthouse is a drop-in center for homeless youth in Horry County, and several of the clients participated in the workshops with the CCU students, who then performed skits on March 22-24 that were meant to share the clients' stories and struggles while inspiring the audience to take action.
