Adult Programs
We produce 1 to 2 original gospel stage plays each year, which are performed in theaters, churches, and public venues. Our productions feature modern-day stories infused with biblical principles. We offer opportunities for both seasoned and aspiring artists to audition for roles or participate in behind-the-scenes work. Each year, we hold an open audition for our company cast, welcoming new talent. Additionally, we host various community art events that highlight local artists, providing a platform to showcase the incredible talent in Long Beach and surrounding areas. If you're interested in performing, working behind the scenes, or participating in our events, we'd love to connect with you!
