On a normal Saturday, in front of an packed house of unsuspecting parishioners, Dr. Rev. Jimmy Goodlove brought FAITH alive. Join us, as we look forward to spreading the word and joining the chorus in FAITH: The Gospel According to George Michael. Redemption Guaranteed! Early Converters receive Double-Salvation! You gotta have Faith, baby!
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 it rocked? Yes, 80’s style pop rock. (and pop rocks were a thing in the 80s).
We look forward to announcing another chance at salvation soon.
Feast you eyes on this talented list of actors. You’ll be thinking, “wow, I bet 24/7 is gonna be amazing!” So, then, come to the show on Jan 27, 2024 to confirm your intuitions. You are smart and amazing yourself.
On stage, there are a lot of new faces, many of familiar faces; let’s get right to the talent by name, alphabetical by first:

To be a director for a 24/7 play you have serious artistic chops, you have to trust your artistic intuition, and your artistic intuition has to be good. But, well, wait… not you, the reader. But, our top notch directors have to do all that, and be all that… and they can… and they will. You, the audience, can sit back, have a drink, and watch it all come to life!
Their challenge is to direct a play in less than a day. Your treat is to be entertained.
Ike Anderson Chris Evans Mercedes Hererro Edwina Herring Marianne Kubik Denise Stewart Miller Susen
They will each get a play that was just written overnight, the night before, randomly assigned and each director will set out to bring it to the stage. 7 new plays in all. One after the other for an evening in the theatre unlike any other. All fully rehearsed… in less than a day.
Don’t get confused. We have the best playwrights. Their challenge is to write a play overnight that will be fully produced the next day. Your treat is to be entertained.
Here’s our line our line up of 7 playwrights for 24/7 on January, 27, 2024 at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.
