Time to Change the Game

Last night I went to a gospel play. I will leave out the name and where I saw it to protect the innocent, but it was HORRIBLE! And I really tried to take off my critical cap but even then, it was really, really bad. Between the horrendous acting and the side commentary from the lady in the row behind me, my friends and I gave away two hours we will never get back.

After a few jokes and chuckles, I really contemplated what I had seen. And again, it made me angry. Most gospel plays are not done well. At all! Or these loose their original message to cater to the entertainment value for the audience. Most excuses for this lackluster approach is that as long as we get the message out, we have done the work of the Lawd! Or they feel that because they are doing it for God, they can just get up and go (with no kind of training in what they are doing). But, to me, because it is in His name that is exactly why your best foot should be put forward. This play had a powerful message, but for many, I'm sure it was diluted or lost because of the lack of excellence in the execution.

This is one of the main reasons why I really want to get into the Gospel arena and change the game. Christianity isn't wack and neither should the acting that goes on stage. Everything done in excellence. This is something that has been ingrained in me and just won't go away. I refuse to let my production(s) go on stage and it not be done with excellence.
