Vincent Abril2nd Combat Aviation Brigade PAOCAMP HUMPHREYS – Volunteers hurry backstage, making last minute adjustments to costumes and props just before the curtain is about to go up. The auditorium lights go dim; the roar of the anxious spectators calms to a whisper in sincere anticipation. Then, the curtains rise and another Camp Humphreys Community Theatre production is on its way to entertain a packed house of community members.One year ago, the community theater was a mere idea existing between two 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade spouses. Christi Mancha, the theatre’s production director, and Lesa Craig, the artistic director, became motivated to inspire the community through performing arts. It was a way for them to involve their home-schooled children in different activities while strengthening bonds in their local community.“We are inspired by the fact that being able to express yourself creatively through performing arts is a way that helps people feel better about themselves and feel like they’re participating in their community,” Mancha said. “We want to (help) make Camp Humphreys a wonderful place to work and live.”Sgt. Peter B. Adams of Kenai, Alaska, and assigned to Headquarters Support Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, was inspired and now volunteers with his wife and children.“I’ve always loved theatre and my wife has always loved dance,” said Adams. “We owned a dance studio for a few years in Monroe, Washington. Arts have just been a huge part of our family and this is a great family activity. It really brings you together and there is a sense of accomplishment at the end of each show, where you’re high-fiving your kids and everyone is so excited.”While most of the cast and crew consist of 2nd CAB Soldiers and family members, the theater has volunteers from across Camp Humphreys and the peninsula. As a team, they have already performed three shows since the theatre’s opening. The first show featured a musical called “Honk,” followed by “The Legend of Robin Hood,” and the most recent production, “A Christmas Carol.” The performances have garnered the cast and crew Army-wide accolades at the 2012 U.S. Army Festival of the Arts award ceremonyAdams is confident that all who come to see their productions will not be let down.“It just keeps getting better and better with every show,” he said. “We continue to hear it out there -- how great the shows are. Go ask anyone who went to see them and they will tell you how awesome the shows are. The next one is going to be even better.” Volunteers of the theatre are currently in discussion on what the next big show will be. In the meantime community members are encouraged to start thinking about volunteering. There are many positions to be filled.“We absolutely invite and encourage anyone that has an interest in theatre to come out. We are always looking for newcomers who would even be willing to step in leadership roles such as the role of director,” said Mancha.For more information on the theatre, visit them on Facebook at Camp Humphreys Community Theatre, or call Mancha at 010-6818-1223. |
