Meet the Voices of Galveston Wind
Galveston Lighthouse Productions invites you to join us in a truly meaningful artistic journey with Galveston Wind, a historical drama that brings to life the stories of strength, sacrifice, and community during the devastating 1900 hurricane. This production isn’t just a show—it’s a chance to honor Galveston’s history and uplift our community through powerful storytelling.
We are looking for passionate, dedicated individuals to fill both Cast and Crew roles. While this is an unpaid opportunity, your time and talent will contribute to a cause greater than any paycheck—bringing local history to life and inspiring audiences through live performance. Your work will help support our mission of making the arts accessible, impactful, and deeply rooted in community pride.
Rehearsals will run from June through September 2025, and all cast members must be available for scheduled rehearsals, assist with marketing and outreach, participate in technical rehearsals, and be present for strike following the final performance. This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact through art—come lend your voice, your heart, and your hands to something unforgettable. Character descriptions are listed below.
