The
Rock Hill Community Theatre provides experience in theatre
to Rock Hill and surrounding communities. We provide actors, directors,
and playwrights in this area with an opportunity to ply their talents.
We also strive to give aspiring young actors an opportunity to explore
their passion for the theatre.
In casting our shows, we provide opportunities for actors from age 5 to 75+, with skill levels ranging from beginner to seasoned performer. Our musical productions require acting, singing and dancing skills, as well as live musicians. For those who want to be involved in theatre but not necessarily on stage, there are ample opportunities for light and sound technicians, costumers, set designers/builders and stage hands. Last, but far from least, if you just want to get in on the excitement of producing a show, we always need volunteers to help with tickets, concessions, grounds keeping, clean-up and numerous necessary tasks. As you can see, the word “community” in our name has real meaning. Presenting 50+ performances per year requires a lot of “people power” and diverse talents. Without community participation, there would be no performance and there would be no audience! |

St.
John's United Methodist Church of Rock Hill is a vibrant
downtown church with a purpose of making disciples for Christ. We
do this in all sorts of ways: annual overseas mission trips, hunger
outreach programs, Inter-Faith Hospitality Network, Sunday School
classes, Disciple Bible Studies, Wednesday Night Fellowships, Winthrop
Wesley Foundation, plays, superb children's ministries, outstanding
youth ministries, senior adult activities, United Methodist Women
and Men, the "Journey to Bethlehem" outdoor drama, television

St. John's is one of the fastest growing churches in South Carolina.

We want to have the best programs and facilities imaginable so people will meet Christ and grow in their faith. Come grow with us! |

The
South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism offers

At
Starbucks, we always figured that putting people before products just
made good common
sense. So far,
it’s
been working out for us. Our relationships with farmers yield the highest
quality coffees. The connections we make in communities create a loyal
following. And the support we provide our baristas pays off everyday. |

At Windell's
Webs, we have two rules. We make sure your web exposure
works for you and we make sure the time you spend with us is - dare
we say it? - FUN! That doesn't mean we're not serious about our work.
What it does mean is that we promise not to pepper you with "Geek-Speak" -
we communicate in plain, everyday terms and take the time to make
sure you understand the "why" behind our "how".
We won't create sites based on what we want or because they
just look "slick". We create sites because they'll
work for you! In short, we listen to you and won't waste your
time since it, like your web site, is very important to you.
When you're ready to bring the world to your front door, Windell's Webs is there to make it happen. We're also proud to have created the ChristmasVille website and hope you enjoy it! |

The Woman's Club
of Rock Hill is one of forty Woman's Clubs. Since 1971, the
Woman's Club of Rock Hill has owned its clubhouse, known as the Armstrong-Mauldin
House. Located at 607 Aiken Avenue, it is a contributing property in
the Charlotte Avenue/Aiken Avenue Historic District. In 2002, the Club
organized a Designer Showhouse which provided improvements to the interior
and exterior of the structure as well as adding landscaping to the
grounds. The remainder of the property is now being improved through
the Mauldin Gardens restoration project.
The Rock Hill community continues its generous support of club projects to maintain this historic house and its grounds. Many know the Armstrong-Mauldin House well, since it is open to the public for weddings, anniversaries, holiday parties and meetings. To schedule an event of your own, please call 803-328-8888 and leave a voicemail message. You may also contact us through our website at www.womansclubofrockhill.org. |
