OUR MISSION

Coastal Act Productions is a non-profit organization created to foster, promote and increase public knowledge and appreciation of the arts and cultural activities in Lincoln County through youth theater.

 

WHO WE ARE

 

Coastal Act Productions, or CAP, is a Youth Theater Company serving Lincoln. County

 

YOUTH THEATER

 

Several different definitions exist for “Youth Theater” around the country.  The definition that CAP subscribes to is one where youth (along with family members and other adults) are provided with opportunities to be in large community theater productions without the requirement of a formal audition. Consequently, we pick our shows based on a script’s capacity to handle a large cast of youth participants. However, this does not make us a “school” theatre company.  We are a community theater company and we cast adults in lead roles when it is appropriate to the role. Therefore, our definition of Youth Theater does not mean that only youth play the principal roles, but instead means that youth are given opportunities to perform in major theatrical productions in a variety of capacities both as leads and ensemble members.

 

NO AUDITION NECESSARY

 

We believe that all youth should have opportunities to develop and display their talent.  This can be difficult for those who may not have the level of confidence or acting ability necessary to pass the audition stage with other theater companies.  With CAP no one needs to audition to have a role in our shows. We cast everyone who registers and we guarantee them as much time onstage as possible. We only hold formal auditions for the principal roles in our shows.
