These five include three I’ve produced and directed over the last three years, plus the one that was supposed to happen last Easter and didn’t (thanks Covid), and one super unique one that I can’t wait to see produced somewhere outside my garage.
I’m thrilled to share these works outside of my local community church, to see them come to life across a larger region, to take some of the burden off local churches and organizers by providing doctrinally sound, reverent, and feasible scripts and program outlines.
Cheers!
