WELCOME!

WELCOME!
We are a young group of volunteers from the Family International who've come together to form a theatre group in London.

With our plays, we address controversial and difficult issues everybody faces in today's society. We perform all over London and the UK with one goal in mind:

Encouraging our audience to take control of their futures, and challenging them to make a difference!

The "Everything" Skit!

Last Saturday we hit Hemel Hampstead with our new play - we call it the "Everything Skit"! It's a mime performed to the Lifehouse song "Everything", and though it's somewhat different from our Four Horsemen play, it was still a raging success! We performed it five times and the crowd really loved it! (We hope to be recording our performance of it soon, but until then, see it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480LYA) Below is the play in picture format! Enjoy!

Jesus creates Girl

Jesus teaches Girl to move

Jesus shows Girl water, flower, food etc

Dancing male spins Girl away from Jesus

Money teases Girl with cash

Drunk turns Girl into alcoholic

Fashion makes Girl Bulimic

Death makes Girl cut herself

Death tries to make Girl kill herself

Girl struggles to try to get back to Jesus

Girl gets beaten and thrown to the ground

Jesus holds all the spirits back while Girl prays

Jesus throws spirits off and rescues Girl

Everyone takes a bow!

Plymouth Trip Pics!

Just a post on the recent four day trip to Plymouth our team made this month…

Wow! It was so, so great to see you all again and we can’t wait for our next road trip back down!

It was good fun when we were there, reading the Bible and doing skits to act out the parables. We all enjoyed it, but the best thing was spending time with you people. It was really special!

Included are some pics of our stay there. Richard, Ash, Kate, Meghan, and everyone else we had the privilege of seeing again – you guys rock! We had so much fun and it was amazing seeing how much each of you have come along and hitting the streets of Plymouth with you all!

(By the way, to anyone who is wondering why Tina has a black eye in the pictures; she’d had a little football accident shortly before leaving for Plymouth, lol! All fine now, though, no worries!)

Trafalgar Square...

Here you can see us having a great time down in the heart of London ……..

We went down there with a lot of young people who will maybe want to do something similar…by the way, we’ve heard there are young people in Sweden and in Ukraine who may be copying what we do, having heard about it…neat huh Below (left) is Josh looking regal in front of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square….

We did the play about five times there and had a really good response! Then we went to Downing Street where instead of acting war-like and like they really wanted to get in there and take over, the Four Horsemen just acted like some American tourists taking cheesy photos (See below right)…… shame …it would have been great to see War and Death fighting through London policeman and challenging Gordon Brown for his kingdom!

Then we went past the horseguards and War, Greed and Death looked very keen to get on the horse - after all …what’s the use of four horsemen who don’t have a horse? They had a word with the gentleman in red about it but for some reason, he didn’t want to lend it to them. (Below Left)

The Horsemen then went to the Houses Of Parliament- the very seat of power and important people. Although we knocked politely on the door, they wouldn’t let us in! What’s the world coming to? (Below Right)

Anyway, we had a great day out and met lots of very interesting people from all sorts of different places… and the young guys had a great time too as you can see below.


Hope to be coming to a city near you soon!
