I recently got to do an interview on The Gate Radio with George Flores, who I've known since the mid-90's. We even made their front page! Here's the direct link to the full page.

Here are links to things we talked about in the interview:

What a joy it's been to be a part of Revelation the Musical. I'm half-way through my three weeks of this Off-Broadway run which will run through June 9.

I’ve been performing my own one-man play based on The Revelation for almost 20 years, so I’m just delighted to be playing John in this musical pr...

OPENING NIGHT
It wrecked me again. Maybe even worse the second time because I know I started weeping earlier this time. Since we saw a pre-release screener in March there was a moment when I knew the inciting incident was imminent. My friend Joseph Holmes was sitting next to me, and after the film ...

I just posted my review of Noah: www.Blog.RichDrama.com.
Posted by Rich Swingle on  Wednesday, April 10, 2019


We loved Sight & Sound Theatre's production of Noah, as filmed for their Fathom Event release, and not just because I played Noah's son Ham in The Adventum, and Shem in the Begi...

I just heard Michael Guillen, PhD, speak this morning at a New York Media Initiative breakfast. He's speaking again tonight at 7PM at 414 W 51st St., New York City, as a part of God Talks NYC.

Dr. Guillen told how he went from being a 7-year-old Mexican kid in East LA who had a dream of being a s...

I wrote this review years ago but never finished it. I came across it while searching for something else.

I have an assignment for any students I've ever had or will have: watch Grace Unplugged!

I wanted to teach before I wanted to act. Part of that was fear that I couldn't have a career as an acto...

My first boss in New York City, Gerri Castle, went to be with the Lord on March 11. On the 7th she was injured during a home invasion.

Several of us who knew Gerri from her time at The Lamb's Church of the Nazarene began praying for her, and it was truly miraculous that she was able to stay alive...

Joyce teaches on Exodus 34:29-35 and  2 Corinthians 3:7-11 with the Resurrection Church of the Nazarene in New York City. Opening and prayer by Jim Hullinger. I close the service, and tell the secret of a 21 year-old marriage that gets better and better as the years go by!

I happened to be working on a couple of films in Canada when  Unplanned was released in theatres there.  Several cast and crew went to see it, and the only seats we could find together were on the front row! The day before it had sold out.

It was number one on Amazon before it was...

This morning at Westchester Chapel, Joyce taught on  John 13: 1-20.

Pastor Jim Warren continues our series on The Word is Marching On with a message from Luke 5:1-11 showing how Obedience to the Word transforms not only the doer of the Word, but those whose lives are affected by that act of o...

I got to open our service at Westchester Chapel this morning, and I observed that on St. Patrick's Day our sermon was on freedom in Christ! It was an amazing, and unplanned, correlation, since Patrick was a slave, who escaped, only to have a vision calling him to return to the land of his captors t...

The photo is of Joyce and I with Roger Nelson and two of his New York friends during the run of our 2006 collaboration, Fire Off-Broadway.

I recorded a report on my experience at Roger's memorial and my experience with this round of the Great Experiment, which I was involved with when I read Script...

We really enjoyed Timothy Mahoney's first Patterns of Evidence film, Exodus. We watched a screener of his newest, Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy, and we loved it! It's very well made, and, like the first one, it gives equal time to scholars on both sides of the issue.

The Pentateuch,...

Tomorrow night may be the last time you'll be able to see  Run the Race in a theater. I really thought it was a slam dunk, to add a metaphor from a third sport into the mix! It's about football playing brothers who switch over to track.

It was great writing, cinematography, directing, a...

Joyce shares from Ex. 34: 29-38 and 2 Cor. 3: 7-18 as Westchester Chapel resumes its series:  The Word Marches On.  She explores the Glory of God and explains Paul's comparison of the Old Covenant, the New Covenant and the Law from the passage in 2 Corinthians.

I open the service a...

It has been many years since you came to Maryland and performed at New Life Changer's Deliverance Ministry.  Just wanted to say may God continue to bless you, and how I'll always be grateful for how you came to a few and gave your all.  A vessel of honor for the Master's use.  Blessin...
