The theatre program is a rich, beautiful, unique ministry of Sunny Hills Church. Our program is first and foremost a ministry, not a theater company. We seek to create a loving, inclusive community through the modality of theater, with the end goal of loving people and loving God. Fostering this kind of environment is a much higher priority than any theatrical performance we put on. We value and prioritize Love over performance. And somehow, this has resulted in some of the very most excellent performances you’ll find around!

Completely run on donations, students ages 8-18 are invited to participate in this free program.
