Christian Stories (basic problem)
In the world of Christian Theater, the real problem begins at the writing stage. The show lives and dies right there. Why is it so hard to find good scripts? One basic reason is that not very many Christians are seeking to develop their skill in this area, but the other reason is one that not too many people are talking about. Most of the time a writer seeks to write a Christian story with the secular added to it. But that is not the reality of the world we live in. We live in a secular world with Christ added to it. The light has penetrated the darkness and the darkness is "larger than life." So, if you want a GOOD story, a REALISTIC story, a BELIEVABLE story, an EFFECTIVE story... then write a secular story and introduce Christ into the story, the way it REALLY HAPPENS. Think on this. I'll write more later on this subject as well as the Christian Musical, Songwriting and so on. Have a wonderful day. And while you're at it, check out www.lightsuptheater.com.
