Two People You Need

There are two people you can't do without as a church drama leader.

Not everyone has them, but if you do, your work and your ministry will be truly blessed by their presence:

The Techie - There's nothing like having your own, dedicated techie to really make your drama productions run smoothly. I don't mean the guy who's there Sunday to run the sound board anyway. I mean a dedicated, practice-attending, go the the extremes techie. The kind of guy (or girl) who has every song and sound effect imaginable on his laptop, just in case he might need it. The kind of guy who can climb to the top of a ladder and stand on the very top to move a light two inches to the left without flinching. When you find a techie who totally commits to you and your team, buy them lunch once or twice a month. Give them gift cards to Home Depot and the Apple iStore. Bless them, for they will bless you more.

The Lady (or Guy) Who Can Get Anything - This is probably not an actor, nor a techie, but this is a person with connections who has a passion to see drama succeed in your church. They know people. They know who has what, where to find that obscure prop or costume item, and they can get it for you within 24 hours, usually at no cost to you. Any help that saves you time and effort is worth keeping around. Again, take this person to lunch regularly. When you need three lab coats or a super hero costume for a skit in two days, this is the person that will save your life.
