By Robin Capers
“They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire…”—Acts 2:3
“New Things” for a New Year!
Immersive Theatre has arrived in the Salem, Oregon area.
A New Play is in the works for 2017.
A Drama Ministry Team is NOW forming.

Project Title: TONGUES AFIRE!
Premise: A penniless preacher and his small prayer group spark a supernatural awakening in a Los Angeles community that ignites a worldwide movement.
Original Stage Play: It’s something new, fresh, and exciting involving audience participation and eliciting supernatural response
Purpose of Creative Work: To provoke spiritual awakening by the Power of the Holy Spirit, to reveal hidden things of darkness, and to heal wounds from generations of racism
Related Scripture Verse: “I will show you my faith by my works.”—NKJV, James 2.18
Ultimate Objective: To produce this play in major US and international cities
Testimonial: “What a marvelous choice of subject matter (faithfully rendered for the theatre): The Azusa Street Revival. . . . It will be interesting to see how God uses each live performance of this play. The stage allows us to share the special nature of ‘pretend’ in a way that is totally theatrical and perfectly matched to the work of the Holy Spirit.” —Professor Kevin Crawford, Regent University, MDiv, MFA, PhD
Occasion: The Azusa Street Revival (1906-1922) with relevant updates
Target Audience: Individuals from all ethnicities and walks of life who long to be touched by God, long for His Presence, and long to be enveloped by His Love
