Prodigal Son from a Christian Perspective

January 16, 2019 by LifeHouse Theater 1 Comment

To unravel the mysteries of the Kingdom, Jesus often taught using stories. We call them parables. Our LifeHouse original musical “Prodigal Son” (written and directed by Jordan Beck with music from Zach Marsh) is a re-telling of Jesus’ most well-known parable of the same name. [Photo by Photography Reminisci ~ Bruce K Manson] Listen to this article Prodigal Son Read by … [Read more...] about Prodigal Son from a Christian Perspective

It’s a Wonderful Life! from a Christian Perspective

December 22, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 2 Comments

By Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy Several weeks ago, I (Dane) stumbled upon a fascinating television special about the making of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Frank Capra Jr. hosted it and offered a rare glimpse into his father: Frank Capra—the man behind the classic 1947 Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life.”    THE MAN BEHIND THE FILM Capra Jr. shared that “It’s a … [Read more...] about It’s a Wonderful Life! from a Christian Perspective

How You Can Join the Fight

December 14, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

By Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy I often share that at LifeHouse we’re fighting fire with fire. This means a couple of things. First, it means that we’ve chosen to respond to Hollywood’s movies and Broadway’s musicals. We recognize how influential these industries are and that they are shaping our hearts and minds. Second, the way we’re responding to these industries is by … [Read more...] about How You Can Join the Fight

Fire with Fire

November 28, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

by Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy As human beings, we see the world through our own experiences and beliefs. Together this forms our worldview, or our perspective on the world. Everyone has a perspective, including artists. Yes, artists try to reflect what they see, but it's all funneled through their worldview. I'd like to consider for a moment two celebrated storytellers and … [Read more...] about Fire with Fire

The Haunting Truth about Stories

November 14, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

    Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy Ray Bradbury wrote a wonderful short story called “The Pedestrian,” which is set in the year 2053. (It’s only two pages long--take a moment and read it!). The story centers on a man named Mr. Leonard Mead. Toward the beginning of the story, the narrator offers an eerie description of him, “In ten years of walking by night or … [Read more...] about The Haunting Truth about Stories

8 Ways to Direct a Play So No One Will Forget You…Ever

October 31, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

  Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy Step One: Share the “bad news” that no auditioner was good enough for the lead role, so you, as the director, will make the sacrifice and play the part. Step Two: In the middle of at least one rehearsal, when the actors aren’t meeting your standard of excellence, storm out of the theater. Remember, it’s not what you say but what you do … [Read more...] about 8 Ways to Direct a Play So No One Will Forget You…Ever

My Fair Lady from a Christian Perspective

October 18, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 1 Comment

  Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy As President of LifeHouse Theater, I spend a good deal of time thinking about how we, as Christians and members of the LifeHouse community, should think about stories in light of our Christian faith. Even though LifeHouse is committed to producing musicals and dramas that illustrate the Christian worldview, this does not stop us … [Read more...] about My Fair Lady from a Christian Perspective

That Place We Cannot Enter

October 4, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

  By Dane Bundy Wayne R. Scott's note: When we go out to attend a movie, we are paying ten or fifteen bucks to give someone permission to enter our minds with a point of view behind the movie. As Francis Schaeffer has written, "all art has a message." So the question becomes, "what message am I paying to have planted in my head when I watch a movie?" One of my … [Read more...] about That Place We Cannot Enter

It Shows

September 19, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

  By Wayne R. Scott JUST about any stage play will bring a cast together: the glue is long nights, unexpected problems, extensive time in odorous backstage enclosures. You still have these in biblical shows, but the glue often takes a different form. During the tech and cement weeks of “The Disciples of Jesus,” a cast member invited the cast and crew to meet before … [Read more...] about It Shows

Twilight Zone and the Fear of Getting What You Want

September 5, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 1 Comment

    Editor's note: This week, our associate, Dane Bundy, has penned a most thought-provoking essay that I (Wayne) think you will find interesting and convicting -- I know I did! Take it away, Dane... When I was teenager, I needed to get some tests done in the hospital. Nothing too out of the ordinary, except that it required me to arrive the next … [Read more...] about Twilight Zone and the Fear of Getting What You Want

How to Use the Stage to Boost Your Ego in Eight Steps

August 24, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 2 Comments

    Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy Step One: If you are cast in the ensemble, don’t worry: your director has something personal against you. So just navigate yourself to the front of the group numbers, with your “good side” facing out. Step Two: Always be ready to shower your director with compliments; if you can’t think of anything positive, don’t … [Read more...] about How to Use the Stage to Boost Your Ego in Eight Steps

When Similar is Different

August 8, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 1 Comment

    Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy “I want to write something great,” I (Dane) told him. I was stuck in the middle of writing a play.  My friend sat patiently, but he knew my problem. “I think you should just focus on telling the story,” he said. He was right. My desire to tell a great story was hindering me from writing a story worth telling. Amusing how … [Read more...] about When Similar is Different

A Place to Become Like Children

July 25, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater 1 Comment

  Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy A cast member recently asked me, “Wayne, what do you do for your day job?” I smiled, because guests ask me this all the time. They don’t know we employ almost a dozen people and could use a few dozen more. But I understand, we’re putting on plays: it must just be a hobby! We prefer the word calling. LifeHouse is a place for men and … [Read more...] about A Place to Become Like Children

The Pulse of Culture

July 11, 2018 by LifeHouse Theater Leave a Comment

The Bible - Netflix loading screen parody

  Wayne R. Scott with Dane Bundy “We [Christians] must hold the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other,” wrote the German Theologian Karl Barth. While we don’t agree with everything Barth has said about the Bible, he’s made a great point here. Christians are not to be of the world, but they are called to be in it. The news helps us stay in touch with culture … [Read more...] about The Pulse of Culture
