Shine + Community

Our Performance Outreach Team in it’s 12th year. This team brings energetic music, improv, original sketches, and children's theatre in engaging, inspirational performances. They perform at schools, community festivals, and have become known for "youth group takeovers." Interview and audition required.

A Service Outreach Team supporting our community in practical ways. Whether it's picking up litter around the city, helping with gardening at the library, assisting the art museum with setting up displays, or cleaning up around Capron Park Zoo, they're happy to lend a hand! Serve Up is currently undergoing revision, but you can still apply in the meantime.

An exclusive Puppet Team bringing wholesome, inspiring puppetry to YouTube and to the community. Trained by professionals, their shows are fun, engaging, and heartwarming. Meet Fanta+Guy and the Sockapella and be inspired by this creative team! Serving schools, libraries, community festivals and more with free puppet shows. By audition only.

Miss Cassie has been cooking up an idea for a "pop up choir" for years, involving the community and bringing free choral music to our neighbors. This project is still developing, but you can sign up if you are interested. We are thinking it will be a December event (caroling!) and a spring event (welcome spring!). More details to come!

The Media Team works with coaches to hone their skills in film and photography: first to serve the community of illuminate, and eventually to serve our neighbors. Students must have prior experience with photography, film and/or editing. Team members should take one of Kenny's many classes as a pre-requisite.
