There is a saying, "Music touches the soul." In addition, Drama and Theatre provide a different perspective to the commonplace, challenging the audience to confront previously unaddressed issues. With the exact fusion of the two medias, the Jeremiah People effectively present a powerful message that ministers to the soul, while providing an unusual perspective to today's life issues affecting both Christians and non-believers.
The Jeremiah People have wowed audiences for nearly 30 years with their unique style of music, laughter and drama. In their years of ministry service they have brought hard-hitting gospel presentations to millions, healing to families, inspiration to youth, and loving hearts to elderly. Jeremiah People perform in churches, theatres, and auditoriums in nearly 45 states in the nine months that they are commissioned.
The mission of the Jeremiah People is to inspire the church, energize the family and challenge believers and non-believers alike with the message of Hope found in Jesus Christ. With their Broadway-style full-length musicals, humorus sketches, professional choreography, and powerful voices, the Jeremiah People truly present a performance for all ages.
Under the production management of Colin Hearn, the Jeremiah People will be ministering all across America again this season. In their 2007-2008 season, and In honor of the Continental’s 40th year in ministry, the Jeremiah People are bringing back a favorite of many, Family Snaps.
In the course of this musical the audience is quickly caught up in the crosscurrents of the Bailey family. Family Snaps is a poignant dramatic comedy about family relationships and friends, with a depth of focus that touches the many facets of being a family in the 21st century. One thread of the script involves the soon-to-be-married (then, newly married) son and his fiancé; another looks at being married and being parents; a third deals with the passage into adolescence. All are woven together around the renovation of a newly purchased mountain cabin. But when jealousy and suspicion begin to fill the house, the results are realistic and thoughtful. The fundamental wisdom of the play is carried through an eccentric yet charming woman, Aunt Matty, who lives in the small town near the cabin. The script is both funny and poninent, and will touch you as these real life stories comes to life.
The group is comprised of approx. nine talented actors and three support staff who, in addition to surviving a selective auditioning process, have committed ten months of their lives to taking this message on the road
The Jeremiah People's season begins in the Fall and goes through the end of Spring the following year. You could be a part of this exciting ministry!
