Hidden Treasure productions Blog # 4 By Beverly Dennison



 


 “The way we got our name and Logo”

When our Board of Directors was formed, we needed to decide on the name for our new organization. Every member began to think about what the best name would be for what we wanted to accomplish. Some of the names suggested were:

Into the World Productions                     True Theatre
Foolish Things Productions                    Expose Theatre
Open Field Productions                          Proverbs Productions
Shine Your Light Productions                 Whole Earth Productions
Jest Drama Productions                         Urgency Theatre Company
Darkness and Light Theatre Company   Sower Productions
Hidden Treasure Productions                 New Light Productions
Fertile Soil Productions                          Fertile Ground Productions

All of the above suggested names were placed in an online site where we could all vote anonymously, called strawpoll.me
Six more suggestions were sent in by Chris Inouye, but they were too late to be added to the online poll.
We were all allowed to vote up to 10 times each until the deadline date, set by Don Dennison. The winner with 44% of the votes was Hidden Treasure Productions, submitted by Beverly Dennison. The 2nd highest number of votes was for “Into the World Productions”, and the 3rd place was for “Open Field Productions”. The name was most likely chosen because of the ideas, content and purposes that we want our plays to convey to our audiences—a message of hope and promise, only found in God.
Now that we had our name, we set about the task of developing our Logo. Some of the suggestions were:
A globe
A circle with half white and half black
A Jester Clown
Comedy/Tragedy Masks
A Treasure Chest, half-buried in sand
A shell with pearls

Finally, after much discussion at a Board meeting, we voted and decided on the seashell with three pearls, submitted by Kitty Inouye. However, there was some discussion about whether it should be one or three pearls. The three pearls idea was agreed upon, which signifies the Hidden Treasure found in God.
The colors of turquoise and aqua were determined for the seashell, because of the colors of the sea. And those colors look nice, contrasted with the three pearls inside!
Around the same time we determined our name and Logo, we also decided on our Mission Statement, which was submitted by Don Dennison. It is:
“Our mission is to create quality, professional plays, to take into the whole world.”

Low-Cost Outreach to the Fiji Island

  People like to vacation today more than ever, but have you thought about vacationing with a purpose? That is: To take a trip with a purpose for more than just pleasure or education!   International travel can be costly these days. However, Hidden Treasure Productions (HTP) gets the very best value for our outreach teams, and keeps the cost of trips low. HTP takes teams of about 20 people to give them the cultural and spiritual experience s that make travel so worthwhile and rewarding. Let me give you an example; Our next team will be a medical/dental outreach to a village in Fiji, with doctors, dentists, and support staff. When we first made contact with the village, we met the Chief, who is the first female chief of any village in Fiji! It was awe-inspiring, as we bowed down to her to present her with a gift from America. She was very appreciative and   interested in having us bring the medical team to her village! The dates of the trip are May 18 th to June 1st, 2022.   Come

Fundraising for Hidden Treasure Productions

                                                         Fundraising Blog   We are Hidden Treasure Productions, a theatre company (501 © (3) corporation), based in Oceanside, California. Our mission is to create quality professional plays to take into the world, to places that would not normally have access to live productions. Because of the virus, the years 2020 and 2021 have looked different to many companies, and theatre groups are included in those! For obvious reasons, we’ve had to stay within the United States during this Covid time. There have been many different guidelines by many different nations. For 2022, we have decided to take our play, Shadows of the Mind to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to perform it. It’s a show town with many theatres, so we booked it at the Theatre of the Republic for May 27 th , 28 th , and 29 th , 2022. Also, we are going to perform it at a high school in the Myrtle Beach area. We are talking about 30 people to Myrtle Beach for the product
