Sneak Peek at FAITH

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.

Announcing FAITH: The Gospel According to George Michael

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.

Exit. Stage Left, even!

It takes pure theatrical wisdom to direct a play you’ve never seen before, with actors who didn’t audition, and a design team working on 6 other plays simultaneously and do it in less than a day! These are just the wild, willing, and wise leaders who will do it on March 2nd at Live Arts in 24/7.
