Of Updates and Soundtracks...

Well, what's been going on this end recently?

Sam's at summer camp in South Africa, so it's just as well Faye learned his lines (she got to put them into action last weekend in Kingston, woo hoo!). Cate's in Washington at the moment for a family reunion, so once we have our team back together, Edinburgh is a green light!

Thought I'd post the soundtrack to the Four Horsemen play here - and yes, that's the full, unabridged versions of the songs we use for the intro and fight scene!

Just a bit of background on these lyrics: The book of Revelations talks about four horsemen that represent different elements fighting for control of the world in the final days before Jesus' return. War, Death, Greed and the fourth horseman... Jesus of course (cuz he's the shizz :D).





And in this one, we hear the actual text quoted from Revelations about the Battle of Armageddon, in which the Lamb (Jesus) brings an army down from Heaven to kick the Beast (yeah that would be the big bad guy) back to hell and bring peace on Earth.

Three Horsemen and a Lady....

GAME ON

Been practicing a lot recently as there's a fair bit of role-swapping going on.
For example, Faye is being trained as Sammy's protege in the role of Death (that's right, all - another female horseman!).

(Apparently she plans on killing them with kindness?? :P)

Phil (a dear old friend who's become a temporary addition to the team) is donning Money's cloak...

All gearing up for a big road trip in Edinburgh this summer (still don't have those details for you guys, but bear with me! All will be revealed...once it's solidified that is. You know how temperamental men can be? Try four of'em with swords lol :P)...

Party in the Park!

A couple of us lent a helping hand at The Party in the Park in Uxbridge on the 26th of June.

(Josh, Cate and Dee Jay with the Mayor)

We dolled ourselves up snazzily to match with the buoyancy of the sunny day (England's now flooded in the torrential rain that a few weeks of intense sunshine tends to bring around here) and face painted, crafted balloons and handed out colorful leaflets for Churches Together.

Have a look at the pix and enjoy!

(Cate, Jo and David on the far left with some of the organizers)


Oh and... if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me. But it turns out...*glances around shiftily*...

The Four Horsemen team may make an appearance at the Edinburgh Festival this summer!

Which festival, you ask? Well that remains to be seen - but keep your eyes open - cuz I'll post as soon as I know, m'kay? :D

Best Wishes!

The team is gonna be DOWNTOWN LONDON today, in Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square! Wish them luck and if you're in the area, COME AND SEE!

ROAD TRIP ALERT!

You read that right! I've been hearing suspicious whispers of another ROAD TRIP set to take place sometime this month.
Where and When exactly? I don't have those details yet...but I'll get'em if it's the last thing I do. (I have heard some rumblings about Wales but that's off the record:P) Anyway, keep your ears tuned *looks around shiftily*.

- Your faithful and devoted media shark,
Heather

Where to next?

The Four Horsemen team will be making their next appearance at:

Reading on Saturday, 21st of March

For those who make it over there, we'll be heading back to a hotel room later on to perform some never-before-seen skits, amongst other surprises (evil chuckle). So pop over and join in the action!

(BTW, I was really wanting to put some EXTREMELY lame joke in here about 'reading between the lines'...but it just didn't flow :P...I know. I'm HILARIOUS. I'd make Bill Bailey blush *lolz*)

Attention all Uxbridgers...

That's right. WE'RE BACK, BABY!

For all our wonderful Uxbridgers (Elsie, Demi, Georgie, Becky and everybody else), our team will be in:

Uxbridge High Street on Saturday, March 14th.
SO BE THERE, PEOPLE!

(P.S I'll be posting exact times etc as well as updates in the chat box. If you want to meet up in Uxbridge, just pop us up there. See ya!)

Upcoming Event...

Looking for updates?

If all goes according to plan (and no anvils fall from the sky) ...

The Four Horsemen will be performing in Reading High Street on Saturday, March 7th

BE PREPARED!

Upcoming event: Darwin Day

Yeah, you read that right. Darwin Day is a global celebration held on or around Feb. 12, the birthday anniversary of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, so it's a big deal.

There'll be a lot of stuff going on downtown London, and the Four Horsemen team is gonna have a presence of its own *woo hoo*.

What're we going to do, you ask? Good question :D....



Well, I think the technical way to phrase it would be: we're going to represent the opposing theory. Because Evolution is still just a theory - one possible way that life on Earth could have come into existence.

At the end of the day, Evolution requires just as much faith as Christianity does. And that's sort of our theme of the day.



Anyway! The boys (Dee Jay, Sam, Josh and Simon) have got some hilarious skits lined up, and some of us girls have put together a comic dance (that's right, a dance)that we'll hopefully perform (if we're brave enough, lol).

So stay tuned, and if you happen to be downtown London on that day, look out for some crazy people in Monkey Suits! *Grin*

Of rain and snow and mistletoe!

(Tina and Heather)

Alright, so I lied. There's no mistletoe...not yet at any rate. But London has had both rain AND snow over November. And the Four Horsemen team has been brainstorming for Christmas action...because we get restless :(
Okay so that explains the picture at the beginning of this post. Yes, it's myself (Heather) and Tina. And yes - we're wearing Santa hats...and cloaks. SO?
Christmas starts early for our team, this year especially since some of us will be braving all possible mishaps to take the world's favorite carols to the houses, pubs and even care homes of London this Christmas!
Contrary to popular belief, Caroling is a dying art nowadays. Last year we did it and we had rough English pubcrawlers with misty eyes and comments to the tune of 'nobody does this anymore'.
SO THERE :p.

On the Road Again!

That's right - we're never satisfied...not even close...
In the words of D.B.Berg - "You've got to keep sacrificing, you've got to keep forsaking, you've got to keep fighting every day".

Our theatre team is back on the wheels this weekend, ready to take two days of performing at a christian venue by storm! Oh and did I mention that our repertoire has now been expanded to THREE PLAYS?

Yeah you read that right. The 'Who Pulls The Strings' play is just going to be undergoing some final tweaking and then it's ready to roll! There'll be pics and hopefully a clip coming next week so keep your head up for those, but until then, HERE'S SPOILERS FOR THE NEW SKIT:

Sam (Death) will ditch his scythe in favor of chains...

Heather (me, the blonde :P) is going to be a far cry from her role as distressed girl in the Everything skit as she will play a much darker part...

We'll see Josh (Jesus) performing a roundhouse kick among other stunts...

The new skit involves barcodes, chains, boxes, and beer bottles...

That's as much as you're getting out of me for now though, or the others will pummel me for being a snitch, lol. Stay tuned for those pics - Tuesday's the estimated day to be keeping your eyes open! Till then take care and God bless!

The Second Coming ...

Good news all (well, we're excited anyway :P)! The Four Horsemen team will be returning to Wales for another round - woo hoo! We'll be arriving in Cardiff Thursday evening and will be staying until Saturday evening. SOO... if you met us during our last visit there (or you heard about us and want to)....

WE'LL BE IN WALES TONIGHT! COME AND SEE US!

Below is a number you can call to give us a buzz if you'd like to meet up with us during our stay in Wales! It would be awesome to see you!

Call Dee Jay on: 07939808420

Whispers of a September Play ....

Hey everyone!

I know there aren't much updates at the moment, but bear with us :D. We're working our creative muses on the development of a NEW and EXCITING PLAY! Things are on the roll now and we'll no doubt be flooding the blog with pics of the new play debuting in all our favorite spots so KEEP A LOOK OUT for the Four Horsemen in your area.

Here's a little teaser :P - the title of the new play is ... (drumroll) ... WHO PULLS THE STRINGS (coming soon to a walking street near you)

Other then that, school's back in as I'm sure most of you know, which means that our dear Sam (Death) is now buckling down to a new term. BUT NEVER FEAR! The Grey Horsemen is still riding with us at the weekend, braving the winds and rain (yeah London is a bummer for September weather)!

Not much else to report for now. Keep the faith!

-- Your Four Horsemen team

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!

I little Update on what we been up to.......
