The first thing to understand about the Morning Bishop Theatre Playhouse is that it is so much more than a community theater.
They typically produce about three plays a year, many of them written by the kids involved, but they also have a language program that led several teenagers on a trip to Europe last year, as well as a summer camp this year."We are a theater of purpose," executive director McKenya Dilworth Smith said."Theater is the perfect culmination or marriage of all the different disciplines. So, if you're good with your hands, you can help us with scenery.
"I learned how to communicate and work with others, I can say that, and it made me more comfortable opening up," said 17-year-old AnQuan West. "I was looking at those horses. I was like, you know, it was really fun. It was actually really fun," said 16-year-old Gavin Spencer."That was very scary for me at first, but when I got into the water, I was like, 'This is easy. I could do this,'" she said.
"I like to push them in the direction of overcoming their fear, because if you start now to succumb to your fear, your life is going to be very limited," Dilworth Smith said.
