CenterStage for Christ - Heavenly Harry
It’s almost time! You can’t miss this. The excitement is building. It’s going to be great. Make sure you are there.
Heck, make sure all your friends and family are there!
Because ALL ARE WELCOME!
With all the excitement of CenterStage for Christ’s upcoming Heavenly Harry, we are reminded that this Christian drama troupe started as a division of the Perry United Methodist Church’s evangelism committee. Heavenly Harry cast member John Hulbert states, “CenterStage for Christ is an excellent outreach opportunity to and for the entire community regardless of background. Not only does this show encourage believers, but it also offers a fresh impression of the church to non-believers, all without watering down the message of Christ.”
That being said, there is no doubt that Heavenly Harry, like the eight CenterStage productions before it, will offer members of this church and community a laughter-filled evening of fun and inspiration. There are not many serious moments as rude and intolerable short-order cook, Larry Harrison, experiences a very unusual religious epiphany. This transformation has him earmarked for sainthood (or so Larry thinks). But as another character says, “The practicing Christian version is harder to get along with than the non-practicing Christian version.”
It is important that the message be delivered that ALL ARE WELCOME at CenterStage for Christ productions. To reach different audience types; the shows are written and produced so that each play is very different from the ones previous. Heavenly Harry is a very fast-paced, reckless comedy that keeps you guessing, so audience members need to arrive ready for laughs and a rollicking fun time. Bill Jackson-Adams, Heavenly Harry’s guardian angel, describes this comedy as “hilarious slapstick interwoven with touches of serious soul-search that make the play as enjoyable to watch as it is fun to perform.” Cast member Mike Jackson says he can’t wait for the finished product to see the audience’s reaction.
So create a great audience for Heavenly Harry not just by buying tickets but by getting out the word that ALL ARE WELCOME! CenterStage for Christ has proven itself as a great entertainment value for Christians. Tell your friends and coworkers. And remember: to help contribute to God’s kingdom, every dollar earned from ticket sales will be contributed to the Brian Bowen Snax Sax charity! It’s going to be great! You just can’t miss this!
