I am a Christian performing artist. I sing, I dance, I write, I make music and in this season my main focus is acting, and the teaching thereof. I recently completed a degree in theatre at a secular university.

I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of lame Christian theatre. Christmas pageants, Easter pageants, 12 disciples with little-to-no differentiation in characterisation… that is partly why I write. I was so frustrated at the lack of solid Christian plays that the Lord suggested I should write my own then.

Spirit-filled believers should be the most incredible actors on the face of the planet. We have access to the thoughts of the very Creator God, through His Spirit living within us. Creator God = creative God. He is not hindered by ‘writers block’ so we don’t need to be either. Plus, we should be able to portray Biblical characters with such authenticity as we are simply portraying a friend of a Friend of ours. The Holy Spirit intimately knows every person in the Bible, so why not ask Him what they are like, and then develop your character accordingly?
