Christian Theater

Theater is potentially one of the greatest grounds for outreach, and one of the most difficult to enter. Sadly, Christian theater has been limited to amateur productions and additional fluff to sunday morning church services. The theater community itself is also a particularily difficult one for Christians to enter. I have close ties with the community, and can tell you that a significant number of them are either gay, and or hostile to christianity.

Let's do some math for a moment. A Broadway sized production will typically play for about 2 weeks, at maybe 8 shows. In a building that seats about 1500. We're already ranking up amongst the top 100 churches. Now take it on tour. The biggest cities in North America. While you're at it, don't foget to add CD's, videos, and sheet music.

Now is that impact or what?

The only thing that's even come close to it is !Hero: the Rock Opera

Let's pray that more Christians take an interest in using their God-given talents for God. Like this small group of theater writers.
