Giving to Inspired Purpose

We have been blessed by the generous donations of our

supporters! These financial gifts help us with set production,

technology upgrades, and scholarships. Ticket sales and

production fees allow us to meet our operating costs, but we rely

on YOU to help us grow by introducing more students and

families to Inspired Purpose! Please consider donating, and we

will add your name to our IP Allies page!

*Inspired Purpose is a ministry of The Church KC which is a non-profit

organization. All donations are tax deducible! Remember us in your giving. Checks can be made out to “The Church KC” with “IP” in the memo line.

We are a church set free to

continue Christ’s work on earth.

Cast/Crew Bios

Please help your student complete a biography for our pre-show

bio slide show. It’s easy with our online system! Just go the cast

resource page and follow the instructions.

Tips for writing your bio:

• Write your bio in the "3rd person" using your first name only.

For example: This is Hannah’s second show with IP. She is in

9th grade at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School.”

• Feel free to include other productions you have been a part of,

your hobbies, special thanks, a Bible verse, etc.

• It’s okay to be funny, but remember, the purpose of the bio is

to let the audience get to know you, so do not include any

“inside” or inappropriate jokes.

• There is not a word limit, but shorter bios are encouraged.

(There isn’t too much time allotted per slide in the bio slide show.)

BIO EXAMPLE: Mindy is so excited to be the Director/

Choreographer for Newsies! She is the Artistic Director for Inspired

Purpose. Mindy is no stranger to the stage. She has been involved in

over 200 musicals as an actress, director, or choreographer! Favorite

roles include Sister Mary Mildred in Sister Act (New Theatre), Ernestina

Money in Hello Dolly! (MTH), and Penny in Hairspray (GTIP). She is

so grateful to The Church KC family, her incredible parents, her

wonderfully supportive fiancé Brice Belden, but most of all to the Lord

for her talents. Zeph 3:17
