The Lighthouse Project is a semester-long collaboration between CCU’s Department of Theatre students and participants with Project Lighthouse, a drop-in center for homeless youth in Horry County. This theatrically devised event is designed to engage audience members in civic dialogue and re-imagining. Amanda Masterpaul, teaching associate, is director of the production and co-planner of the Lighthouse Project along with Gwendolyn Schwinke, associate professor, both of the Department of Theatre.
Project Lighthouse provides educational, informational and prevention support for runaway and homeless youth. Through workshops involving the students from the Department of Theatre and participants with Project Lighthouse, stories and experiences will light the way into a re-envisioning of the societal structures that perpetuate homelessness in order to transform our community through civic engagement.

In a small-town dime store in West Texas, the “Disciples of James Dean” gather for their twentieth reunion. Now middle-aged women, they were teenagers when Dean filmed Giant two decades ago in nearby Marfa. One of them, an extra in the film, has a child whom she says was conceived with Dean during the shoot. The ladies’ congenial reminiscences mingle with flashbacks to their youth; then the arrival of a stunning-but-familiar stranger sets off a series of confrontations that smash their delusions and expose bitter disappointments.
