Arts Institute

The arts play an important role in the ministry here at The Church at Rancho Bernardo and the purpose behind the CRB Arts Institute is to teach and encourage each student through private or class instruction. Students, regardless of their level, are challenged to be all God created them to be in the following disciplines:

 Acting Workshop
Saturday, March 27
The CRB Drama Ministry is excited to announce two great opportunities for those people serious about acting professionally, in a church setting, community theatre, television or anywhere else!


The March workshop will be taught by Paul and Sharon Maley.  Paul and Sharon are associated with Lamb's Players Touring Company.  Paul works with Lamb's and does shows on their main stage frequently.  Paul and Sharon Maley are graduates of the UCLA Theatre Arts Dept.  Following their marriage in 1987, they spent two years creating weekly sketches for a church in northern California . They have performed in 17 touring productions together, including several through their theatre and education ministry StageWorks. They both write, direct and perform together as a couple and with their two children.  This workshop will be from 9am-5pm.  Ages 15 and up. Cost is $40 which includes lunch.  Contact Connie LePere at drama@thechurchatrb.org for availability.


Coming Fall 2010:  Actor Tim DeKay will be leading us on a journey to discover more about the wonderful craft of acting. He was a cast member of the series Party of Five from 1997-1999, Carnivàle from 2003-2005 and Tell Me You Love Me in 2007. He has also guest-starred on a number of top-rated television series, including Friends, CSI, My Name is Earl and NCIS. Tim is also well known for his role on Seinfeld as Elaine's boyfriend  "Bizarro Jerry". Tim can currently be seen every Tuesday at 10pm on the critically acclaimed USA Network show White Collar.
