Blog # 12- Hidden Treasure Productions and Covid-19

 



 

Hidden Treasure Productions began in January of this year with the same high hopes that many other endeavors had. Don’t get me wrong! We still have high hopes and are going forward with the great desire to be successful! However, the onset of Coronavirus has caused us to be creative. Fortunate for us, our company is made up of “creative types!” 


Early on, the decision was made to hold all auditions and rehearsals online through Zoom Technology. That has worked out surprisingly well. We had also planned to start meeting as a live cast in early August. The Jury is still out on that one, but we are hopeful that we will soon be able to rehearse outside in someone’s back yard in groups of less than 10. Living in a nice climate allows us to do that, even in the autumn months.  


We currently have a perfect venue booked for October 9-11, 2020. However, if we must change the dates to early November, due to CDC gatherings restrictions, then that is what we’ll do. We must all be adaptive in this new world we are living in today! Our Director, Valerie Herrera, has put together a stellar cast. Many of the performers are professional actors and have extensive resumes. 

Make plans to come out to see “Shadows of the Mind” in downtown Oceanside, California. The definite dates will be forthcoming and will be posted on the Hidden Treasure Productions website.  https://hiddentreasureproductions.org


Our ultimate goal is to take our production internationally in the Spring of 2021, either to the U.K. or to Ukraine. Plans are still underway to accomplish this. All of this to say, “Ain’t no COVID gonna’ keep us down!”

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
