Our Production
We are taking Andrew's beautiful and moving music and staging it as a theatrical piece. This is a wonderful milestone for Ripple Theater as we will be doing something that has never been done before as we collaborate with Andrew to create an unforgettable experience for our audiences. The show will be quite different than a regular play. It will be a story-theater performance where the story of the show is primarily told through the songs but it will be accentuated through storytelling, spoken word poetry, symbolism, and movement. We are looking for people who sing well, are comfortable being themselves, and who can relate and connect to their fellow actors and the audience. Does this sound like YOU? There is no lead in the show so ensemble is crucial. The "star" is the story of the coming of Christ. Come be a part of an unique Christmas Production you will never forget!
