Soul Surfer

By Rich

I finally had two free hours to see Soul Surfer. What a phenomenal show! I was moved from first to last. It was so clear that it was faith that made life work for Bethany after the shark attack. Her courage is tremendous! And The New York Times rave was right about the breathtaking cinematography! ...

New Yorker in Mississippi

By Rich

When I first arrived on the Belhaven campus they were playing Chariots of Fire on the speakers outside their athletic complex. What a way to welcome me (by the random player of sports-themed music) to perform the rest of the Chariots story with my play: RichDrama.com/BeyondTheChariots .

A most extraordinary day

By Rich


Sometimes days planned with great care can be a bit of a letdown because they couldn't possibly live up to the expectation.

And then there are days like today!
