Where We Were on 9/11?

Where We Were on 9/11?

Patti Souder and Jana Carman wrote People Like Us: Eden and Beyond in 1997, and I got to see a production of it at The Lamb's Little Theatre. Patti and I got to know each other on a group drive between NYC to Toronto where I performed I Dreamed I Was Free at a Christians in Theatre Arts conference.

Tonight we saw George Drance of Magis Theatre Company perform *mark ( a solo performance of the Gospel of Mark.) at the Salvation Army's Theatre 315. It was brilliantly directed by our friend, Luann Purcell Jennings, and marve...

The Thorn in Theaters Monday and Tuesday

We saw a screener to The Thorn, which will be in theaters Monday and Tuesday only through Fathom Events.

What started as a dramatic presentation of scripture to a youth group has blossomed into a compelling piece of theatre captured on film that gives Cirque du Soleil a run for its money!...

We were so blessed to see The Horse and His Boy at the Museum of the Bible! I gave some of our impressions in this video I recorded outside the Lena Horne Theatre on Broadway...

I got permission to s...

Hears the Story

I want to thank those of you on our prayer team who were praying for last Tuesday’s event at The Salvation Army's Theatre 315 in Manhattan! I so wished I'd invited you on the NYC list!

The event went miraculously well, far beyond what I imagined or expected. After a brief introduction, our r...

The Hiding Place

I'm so blessed to be a part of the cast of a musical based on The Hiding Place, the book about Corrie ten Boom and her family's efforts to protect Jewish people during the Nazi occupation of Holland.

This morning an article I wrote about it was on www.HeadlinePrayer.org: " A Christian ...

Intercessors for America posted my article about Queen Esther while it was playing live at Sight & Sound’s theatre in Lancaster, PA, but they reposted it to www.HeadlinePrayer.org because it's now available at Sight & Sound TV.

Here's a direct link to the article: For Su...

Tonight and tomorrow are the last New York City performances of Oh Gosnell: A Show About the Truth. Joyce and I saw it last night, and it was incredibly powerful. I wrote about it for www.HeadlinePrayer.org: " A Triumph for Life in the NYC Theatre World!" It covers the trial of Kermit Gos...

August Strindberg’s play Easter

I was so blessed to play Elis in an online reading of August Strindberg’s play Easter with Salvation Army's Theatre 315. It's a play we strongly considered when I was directing the theatre program at the MasterWorks Festival, but we never did it because it has such a small cast. We all had a blast ...

Seventy-five years since Eric Liddell broke the final ribbon

Today marks the 75th anniversary of Eric Liddell's death. He was known more for his actions as an Olympic champion and missionary than for his prayers, but I'd like to share something I discovered about his death that shows how close his intercession brought him to the Lord.

I think all the ...

King James Live

On the first night of Content2020 Film Festival & Media Summit I "happened" to sit next to Ashley Strand, and we discovered that we both perform one-man plays.

Five Bells for 9/11 for 2020

Five Bells for 9/11

Earlier this week, a wildfire ripped through Talent and Phoenix, Oregon, where our family has lived since my great grandparents moved there in a covered wagon. The fire passed between our family's farm and Phoenix High School, and it's only a ten-minute drive between them. I prais...

Pentecost

Pentecost

Since 1991 I've been performing one-man plays in theatres, schools and churches. Since no one's been bringing me into their communities lately due to the pandemic, I felt led to start making some scenes from my plays available for churches to stream for their online services and in their s...

I submitted a short film to The Quarantine Film Festival with two minutes to spare! It's an adaptation from my one-man play The Acts.

I ended up reshooting it and it's now available to watch at home and for your church through www.RichDrama.com/Pentecost.

If your church is interested in showing ...

Floored...again

One of three performances this
Season, for pastors on the

It happens every Advent Season: I get floored by what the Lord did! This year it happened in an unexpected way, as I was preparing to portray Zechariah in Dennis Cole's "Unlikely People." Zechariah is...
