November 2025 - Creating a parade float for local church

Beyond the Wings Theater had the opportunity to repurpose some of our old set pieces to help create a parade float for First United Methodist Church of Pinellas Park.

Instead of letting materials go to waste, we worked together to transform familiar pieces into something new. It was a reminder that creativity doesn’t end when a show closes — sometimes it simply changes shape.

What made it even more meaningful was the people who showed up to help. We had friends visiting from out of town who jumped right in, and kids who chose to give up part of their weekend to pitch in. Their willingness to serve and work together spoke volumes about the kind of community we’re building.

We’re grateful for opportunities to collaborate locally and to use our creative skills in ways that bless others. It was a simple project, but one filled with teamwork, laughter, and heart.
