Scott's Thoughts

LifeHouse Theater continues to be a hub of activity as we conclude our current season with an amazing premiere musical and prepare for the beginning of our dazzling new 17th season…

“PURSUED—A JONAH STORY” OPENS TO ACCLAIM

It has been a rich blessing to see “Pursued—A Jonah Story” open tostanding ovations issued by audiences profoundly affected by the spiritual odyssey they have witnessed on stage.   This thought provoking new musical never fails to move me, challenge me, encourage me and inspire me.  I have already received several letters from guests expressing similar sentiments.  Many who have seen the production have told me they intend to come back and bring others.  It’s truly that kind of experience.  Please join me in inviting friends and family to share in this new musical adventure, now playing through September 19.

“LITTLE WOMEN” IN REHEARSAL

What a joy it has been to meet personally with the dozen lead storytellers from the cast of our musical “Little Women.”  We recently spent two hours together analyzing the story and characters that have made this classic novel a favorite for generations of readers.  The new insights of our actors and the thoughtful homework and research they pour into their performances are part of what makes these stage productions so memorable.  Rehearsals have begun in earnest now under the direction of veteran actor Rick Arias, whom many will recall as the man who artfully directed our production of the acclaimed drama “Shadowlands”—the powerful C.S. Lewis stage biography.  In the next few weeks, Rick will spend more than 60 hours in rehearsals working with our dedicated acting team.  Please pray for all involved in this heartwarming story that so movingly portrays the values of loving family relationships, courage in adversity and faith in God—refreshing themes in this troubled time.

“LIFEHOUSE THEATER ON THE AIR” 

The SmartLifeStyle TV Channel is preparing for the promotion and premiere of our new weekly broadcast in September.  Our original musical “Pilgrim’s Progress” will launch the series, which will be broadcast to nine million subscribers in the United States as well as Central and South America.  Aired in six parts, the series features my introductions giving historical background for the story, as well as interviews with writer-composer Ken Wright and actor Shane Litchfield, who is featured as the pilgrim Christian.  I’ll be relating much more about our exciting series in coming weeks.  In the meantime, visit SmartLifeStyleTV.com and our own websites for the latest developments.

“Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” will be our newest audio drama release the second week of September.  It’s an action-packed story from Kipling’s “Jungle Book” that will delight everyone.  It joins “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “The Princess and the Pigs,” “Job—A Modern Man” and “Trapped in Aesop’s Fables” in this dynamic series of imaginative storytelling.  Our hilarious new rendition of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” is next on our schedule of releases.

LIFEHOUSE THEATER OUTREACH CONTINUES

Christ Community Church (Moreno Valley, October 3), The River Church (Redlands, October 17) and San Jacinto First Assembly of God (December 3) are among the upcoming stops for “A Song In My Heart,” the LifeHouse touring production under the direction of Eric Bishop.  This dramatic portrayal of stories behind great hymns has been well received by enthusiastic audiences.   The production comes to LifeHouse Theater for special performances in January.  For the latest information and “behind-the-scenes” insights, be sure to visit our LifeHouse Theater Outreach website.

 Actors Needed!

Last week we went to our first market night in Redlands. We had a wonderful time meeting many of our guests and possible future guests. Right now we are looking for some of our wonderful Storytellers to join us, on an every other week basis to help draw people to our booth! It runs Thursday nights from 5pm for set-up to about 10pm for cleanup.

We will be promoting LifeHouse Theater, LifeHouse Theater On-The-Air and “Scrooge!”, our Christmas season special at Redlands’ Clock Auditorium.

We are in need of volunteers to help us on Thursday nights with setup, promotion and sales. Please contact: eric@lifehousetheater.com or joseph@lifehousetheater.com for more information.
