On Saturday, February 29th, in front of an audience of 180, Dr. Rev. Johnny Goodlove brought FAITH alive.
As part of Whole Theatre’s 24/7 festival, a bonus treat, the first public preview of the Gospel According to George Micheal rocked the house. Dare we say rocked? Yes, 80’s style pop rock.
We look forward to announcing another preview soon.
24/7! Look at the bounty of talent taking on the unsung hero role of 24/7, the director! They don’t know the play, the don’t know the roles, they don’t pick the actors — yet somehow they bring the plays from this chaos to the best night you’ll have in the theatre this year! The directors for 24/7 2020 are:
Kelli Shermeyer Dawn Schimke Tim Read Pat Owen Michelle Marjorin Chris Kelly David Domkoski
Some of the bravest, or craziest, actors you’ll ever meet. They sign-up to fully rehearsal a random role that doesn’t exist yet in a play that hasn’t yet been written.
But with the talent on stage, listed below in reverse alphabetical order, it all comes together like a… scuba diver ordered from craigslist, or cupid in firefighter boots and a tutu, or the remembered lover of a WWII vet, or free-range parents, or profane monks, or a dentist selling pot, or back-up singers on a deserted island, or… well, you’ll have to come to see how it all works out. But promise you this: you won’t be disappointed. Feb 29 @ 8 @ Live Arts.
The 2020 24/7 actors are:
Virginia Wawner Lee Susen Rasheed Robinson John Rabasa Browning Porter Shannon Montague Deandra McDonald Laura Mawyer Stan Marshall Alanna Mahon Chante Mack Matt Lawless Meg Hoover Kristen Gleason Madison Gildersleeve-Price Chris Estey Sarah Edwards Jen Downey Geen Donovan Andy Davis Allie Bush Christina Ball Mick Anderson
O, we search high, and, well, higher. Each year 24/7 features a diversity of brash, new, young, hungry playwrights and returning veteran writers. We’re super happy with our 2020 talented scribes. It all starts here, writing the plays overnight, for the world’s fastest theatre festival, 24/7. Feb. 29, 2020 @ 8Pm @ Live Arts

FAITH: The Gospel According to George Michael is in development for performances in the spring, summer, and fall of 2020.
FAITH features Dr. Rev. Johnny Goodlove and his 1980s-style televangelism bringing you hope, love and faith with readings from the gospel (the album), sing-a-longs, testifying, healing, storytelling, call and responses — and his personal journey to accepting George Michael as his personal lord and savor.
Is there faith? What is faith? Who needs faith? Dr. Rev. Goodlove preaches and teaches that all the answers you need can be found in the lyrics of the 1987 Grammy Award Winning, Platinum Selling, and Breakout Solo Album FAITH by Wham! co-founder George Michael.
