Study of American Christian Theatre from 1975 to 2000---Three Case Studies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 20, 2010 -- The genre of what has been termed as Christian Theatre has grown enormously, within the past twenty-five years. This book will explore the reasons behind the movement and the growth of this form of theatre in America from 1975 through 2000, while looking at three distinct genres within the Christian theatre realm. The themes which Christian theatres address are naturally Christian in nature. By that, I mean that the themes are related to the beliefs of Christianity and/or hold to biblical doctrines. However, there are some distinct differences, which this book will discuss.

Theatre companies such as Lamb’s Players Theatre in San Diego, California, produce plays that are not necessarily evangelical in nature, yet they maintain a high moral standard of Judeo-Christian ethics and worldview. The term evangelical refers to a fervent way to present the Gospel, with a Christian conversion of the person, as the main desire of the presenters. The Lamb’s Players Theatre produces plays, which are farmily-oriented, uphold Judeo-Christian ethics, and are non-offensive to most of their audience. This book will conduct case studies on three American theatre companies that would fall under the category of Christian Theatre, although they are each distinct in venue and purpose: The Lamb’s Players Theatre, Sight & Sound Theatres in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, and Willow Creek Community Church. The book will be available by the end of the year in all major book stores. Ask for it now! It's by: Beverly Dennison
