Share The title “Enlightening the Dark” comes from the idea that darkness exists in various forms. Sometimes it’s heartache and pain, other times it’s abuse and hate, it can even be ignorance and judgement. Regardless of the circumstances, we believe that light always casts out darkness and EN-lightening the individuals involved, brings empowerment and hope. It is our goal to confront the darkness that youth face by enlightening them through truth and the strength to tell their stories. We raise awareness about important issues and strive to gain wisdom as we embrace our gifts and shortcomings. The main aspect of "darkness" that we hope to learn from is that of stories untold or misunderstood.
Description
The Lakes are Still takes place over several years, moving through the seasons of the year as well as the seasons of life. Our characters, are forced to deal with grief when it becomes present in their life after a tragic accident. Our goal is to showcase the different ways in which people deal with grief and loss; and hopefully provide some comfort to those who can relate.
This show has something for everyone - the songs and performances are appropriate for ALL AGES. The themes are a bit more mature surrounding grief from a non-graphic, accidental death.
