TOURING SHOWS
|
SAINT
HILARIA’S
(2 hours, one actor, 216 laughs)
St. Hilaria’s takes you into a tiny church of bizarre
characters that is re-born after a catastrophe. The satire is
really a parable, and leads into powerful revelations. A play
for people who go to church, or used to go to church, or wouldn’t
be caught dead in one! Great for fellowship or outreach. The
touring version of the author’s smash-hit stage comedy,
A Divine Comedy:
“Blessed are the farcemakers.. hysterical…so
much heart.” - Toronto Star
“A gift from the
gods of laughter..genuinely funny” - Now Magazine
|
TREASURE CHEST
(60 minutes, one actor,)
Treasure Chest is a collection of classic and original stories
that unfold the spiritual dimension of life. “A bumpy
detour through the human heart”. Treasure Chest is accessible,
flexible, and appealing to audiences of all backgrounds and
ages. It employs comedy, audience participation, and moments
of transcendent spiritual truth. Treasure Chest also makes for
a great dessert theatre: it is often used as an low-key outreach
to young families, and the college crowd (the content adjusts
to the audience). Treasure Chest will make your event incarnational,
relational, and delightful.
“Laughter roared and rippled
across the audience... my sides ached” - Canadian Baptist
Magazine “Hilarious” - Christian Week
|
SACRED DIARY
OF ADRIAN PLASS
(2 hours, one actor, 24 characters)
The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass records the hilarious misadventures
of Adrian Plass, amiable but inept Christian, husband and father.
Based on the million-seller book of the same name, the stage
show has been a huge hit for audiences of all ages. This side-splitting
satire is full of spiritual insight as well. Great for fellowship
or fundraising.
“A yeoman performance.. great fun..real
substance” - Toronto Star
|
PAUL,
FOR THE DEFENSE
(20 minutes, one actor, )
The apostle Paul, as a Jewish defense attorney, argues the case
for grace in the court of law. Based on Romans 6-8, Paul, for
the Defense is full of courtroom theatrics, a few laughs, and
a powerful message. Only 20 minutes in length, Paul, for the
Defense makes for an excellent substitute sermon or great introduction
to the use of drama in your services. A hit with every denomination,
it is often used as an preparation/promotion in advance of one
of the evening outreach shows like Saint Hilaria’s.
“Outstanding - we all need to hear this message”
- Dave Toycen, President, World Vision
