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!

Kensborough and Reading

Back again, this time with photos from the performance at Kensbourough Family Church!
It was a very special morning, beginning at 10:00 sharp with an adult service, during which we performed the Everything play with usual gusto (one carpet burn and an elbow to the larynx were the extent of sustained injuries). The audience response was wonderful and everybody cheered as Jesus held the vices at bay!
Some of us then headed upstairs to participate in a lively repertoire of action songs for the children while the rest of our team was treated to a stirring sermon in the chapel.
At 1:00 we joined in on the youth group meeting Emerge and performed both the Four Horsemen and Everything skits, and received great reactions to both. Then Simon conducted an impromptu interview with our team on the subject of spreading the message of God's love your average person on the streets. The wonderful young people also had a number of questions for us and were very interested in our lifestyle! We hope to bale to work more with them to bring Jesus to England!
Yesterday we hit Reading YOC with the Everything skit and a simple, spontaneous repertoire of songs (even a duet with Heather and DeeJay, lol). The detainees expressed that the play was "moving and relatable" and were happy to talk about it's relevance afterwards as we split into cell discussion groups. Enjoy the pics and God bless!
(PS: For security reasons we're not allowed to take pics inside of Reading, so the group shot outside of the prison is as much!)

Upcoming venues....

Introducing...

Just a short note to announce that our team is going to performing both the Four Horsemen skit and the Everything play at a church event this Sunday... so stay tuned for an upcoming post heralding the great success of the venture, lol.
Also, we had the privilege of doing the Four Horsemen play for some of the inmates at Reading Young Offender's Center (sorry, no cameras allowed inside the prison, otherwise I'm sure there would have been some very classic shots). This month, God willing, we'll debut the Everything skit at Reading YOC, so fingers crossed on that one!

In the Merry Month of May...

Wow..it's already May. Where have we been?? Sorry for not updating regularly, people! A lot's been going on with the Four Horsemen team recently so where should we start?
At the beginning. Right...well, we've been doing the Everything skit in all of our usual spots (Watford, Uxbridge etc) and a couple of weekends ago we hit Staines with both plays. It was a bit of a gamble as we'd never been there before and weren't sure about the crowd etc. But it went amazingly well, ,and despite the fact that a large market was in swing, we managed to find a spot to claim as our own.
The young people in Staines were a lively bunch and a lot of them were very interested in the messages portrayed in the plays. We were able to talk with quite a few of them about all sorts of topics regarding life, its perils and of course...how Jesus is the answer!
It was a very moving day for us - in more ways then one, hah! Anyway enjoy the accompanying pictures!
