I have joined with 6 other brilliant technicians and we are working hard to fix a broken system. Story goes like this, there are these kids who spent their whole lives in foster care and the second they turn 18 they are kicked out without training, a job, a home, anything. Our government programs are breeding homeless young adults by the truck load. We are simply teaching them how to be stagehands, how to fight for their meal. Our company is called GHOST LIGHT STAGECRAFT INC. Based on the concept of the Theatre Ghost Light, we are the light in the vast darkness, that is the work force. We are based in New York City, but we have hope that once we have a strong portfolio we can expand to D.C, Philadelphia, Boston, Jersey, etc.What this company is, in essence, is a volunteer service that will lend a helping hand to all non-profit theatre companies, local bands, community centers, shops, and studios. Our volunteers get production credit along with the experience that is worth its weight in gold.
We are not asking for money, we are asking for time, your time! If you have time to commit to teaching a lesson or giving a lecture, or if you admit that you have things to learn and want some hands on experience then look no further. Our Program is designed to fit any work schedule or special situation. If you have not time to spare then please spread the word, we are trying to help, but this is new territory.
