Jacob, Prince of God
This musical, based on the most famous twins in the Bible, was premiered professionally on the East Coast of the United States in July, 2006.  It is the latest of Gloria Emmerich’s matchless, unique, and highly acclaimed Broadway-Style Christian musicals.  Jacob and Esau were the sons of Isaac and Rebekah.  All history was changed when Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a simple bowl of soup.  Jacob’s perseverance won him his brother’s birthright, his father’s blessing, and a new name from God; ISRAEL!  This popular musical affects audiences like few others because of its relevance for today.  The theme revolves around the restoration of relationships with siblings, but it is really so much more.  There is a great lesson in this musical today for individuals, families, the church, and for the nations of the world

King David - Sweet Psalmist of Israel
Who was this boy in the field tending sheep? What childhood visions and rapturous, heavenly worship did he cherish in the recesses of his mind and memory, then carry into adulthood? David was a child of vision and a man of resolution and determination. His passions, sometimes nearly out of control, were constantly harnessed and redirected by the living God of Israel. As shepherd, as warrior, as friend, as husband, and as king, David was filled with zeal. He was wounded in spirit by Saul’s jealousy, Jonathan’s death, and Michal’s betrayal. But, never ever was he defeated.  David made mistakes, yet his heart was full of adoration for the Father. No one else in scripture was ever portrayed as, “A man after God’s own heart.” We have so much to learn from the Sweet Psalmist of Israel.

Out of the Darkness
This new Easter (or any time of year) musical by Gloria Emmerich makes the reality of our risen Savior more glorious than ever.  You’ll relive those last days of Jesus’ earthly ministry.  And, you’ll meet the people that loved and walked with Him; the Cana Couple, Daniel the paralytic, Peter and his mother-in-law, and others.)  You will feel what they felt as they saw their friend Jesus betrayed, mocked and ultimately crucified.  But, you will also rejoice with them as the reality of Jesus’ resurrection fills them with eternal hope and joy.  As with all that knew Jesus when He walked the earth, you’re sure to feel a strong sense that you too have come “out of the darkness” and into His glorious light!

Paul, Fearless Lion of God
Paul the zealot.  Paul the pharisee.  Paul the rabbi, Greek philosopher, Hebrew, and Roman citizen.  He was perhaps one of the world’s greatest intellects, and, early in his life, without a doubt the single greatest threat to the followers of Christ.  As an extremist, he supervised the martyrdom of Stephen.  But, blinded on that lonely road to Damascus, Paul was ultimately converted, and with the help of his closest companions, changed the course of Christianity forever.  This timeless musical by Gloria Emmerich gets to the heart of what really drove Paul’s passion. The personal pain Paul dealt with as he constantly struggled with his sister’s anger, unbelief, and skepticism was nearly unbearable.  Though at times confused and heartbroken, Paul ultimately rejoices in her conversion.  He was beaten, shipwrecked, stoned and left for dead.  Paul’s defeats and ultimate victories are all woven into the fabric of this amazing new musical.

Simon Peter - Fisher of Men
Simon Peter gives a rare glimpse into the lives of those disciples who walked closest with Jesus.  John, James, Andrew, Thomas, and Peter all have an amazing story to tell.  Their lives were simple, uncomplicated, nearly common—until Jesus came and changed everything.  Each man knew Jesus in a very uncommon way—under exceptional circumstances.  This original musical by Gloria Emmerich is perhaps her finest accomplishment as a composer and playwright.

Noah's Incredible Cruise
This children’s musical, penned by Gloria Emmerich, is perhaps the most versatile work ever written for children (and adults) to perform and enjoy.   Noah and his wife bring the truths of this remarkable Old Testament story to life.  Noah’s Incredible Cruise can be performed by just two people or by dozens.  Children, teens and adults alike can collaborate to make this one of the most fun and inspiring journeys they will ever take.  Virtually any number of children can participate in the musical as they (with the help of their creative parents) become all the animals on the ark.  If you have some spare (and brave) teens or tall younger kids around, they can be used as Noah's sons and daughters-in-law. Noah and his wife can be played by people of any age—as long as they can sing and are willing to have the time of their lives.  This musical has been performed with, and by, thousands of children around the world and is perhaps Gloria Emmerich’s most performed work.  Noah's Incredible Cruise is especially appropriate for Vacation Bible Schools, Sunday school rallies, church services, and any time people want to turn the world upside down in 35 minutes!
