Just because it’s located in the old P.S. Jones Middle School building and is, by definition, a ‘Christian theater’, don’t assume that this theater company gives an unrehearsed performance. In fact, it was quite the contrary.

When compared with Raleigh’s Theater in ...

The deeper one explores, the more nuances and subtleties can be discovered. Delving into the evolution of the art brings to light an understanding of its musical and historical perspective.

The man runs a clean show, and no one is safe from ridicule - especially the “calorically challenged,” rednecks in trailers, ardent and fatalist environmentalist and other sissified men. Before the end of the show I was even feeling a bit uneasy. Am I next?
