                                       Play Synopsis


 Shadows of the Mind is an original play by Kanaan Hesseling that explores the physical manifestation of the inner thoughts of a depressed, anxiety-ridden teenager named Charlie.  As Charlie strives to keep her head above water, she hides the depths of her struggle in dealing with her friend, Kevin’s suicide.   Her support structure is undeniable, a mother and father who love her but differ on how to help their daughter, a friend who exudes positivity and unconditional love, and Kevin’s mother, a comforting partner in the grief process.  But as the shadows in her mind intensify, Charlie comes to a crossroads.  Will the outside influences in her life prevail or will the shadows win?

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
