If you're a big fan of audio drama chances are you've come across Lamplighter Theatre, a popular Christian audio series whose staff has included names you might recognize, such as composer John Campbell, writer Kathy Buchanan, writer Marshal Younger, sound designer Mark Drury, sound designer Allen Hurley, producer Bob Hoose, and writer and director John Fornof. Here's some information about the upcoming Lamplighter Guild: The 2014 Lamplighter Guild consists of four days of life-transforming inspiration and instruction in the arts. From July 14-18 one hundred students will gather at Letchworth State Park, western New York’s Grand Canyon of the East. Surrounded by the majesty of God’s creation, master teachers from around the world present instruction in writing, acting, sound-design, photography, filmmaking, illustration, painting, culinary, and biblical theology. Mornings open with Scripture, prayer, and insights from world-class guest speakers, followed by intensive sessions in each discipline. Students receive hands-on instruction and discipleship in their chosen field of study throughout the day, and inspiration from keynote speakers each evening. The Guild is an awakening—a renaissance of creative excellence flamed by the Word of God and demonstrated by faith. “You will never be the same!” You can find out more details about this exciting opportunity on their website. |
