History

Established in 2004.

Overshadowed open it’s doors to almost 300 people Christmas of 2004. Our first production was in the gym of our local Jr. High School. Since that time, we have moved to our current local on 210 S. Walnut Street and have grown with both number of productions as well as number of weekends we hold productions. Last year we had over 7000 people walk through those tiny doors, which is almost a 30% increase in the year before. We once again have outgrown our venue and are in the process of building a brand new theater.

Business Owner

While receiving my formal theatre training at Bob Jones University, the concept of Overshadowed Theatrical Productions was in its infancy. While I was a freshman in college, my Sunday School teacher impressed upon me that Christ should overshadow all facets of my life. She was so concerned that we hear Christ, not her teaching, that she paused before each lesson to pray silently for Christ’s power to fill her with His words. Each time she prayed, someone sang or played the simple song «Overshadowed» by H. A. Ironside. Those few moments directed my heart toward Christ and fixed in me a conviction that has been the underpinning for the more than fifty productions that I have had the privilege to direct. That conviction is simply that each act should be «to the praise of His glory.» My desire is that this theatre be «overshadowed» by God’s love.

After twenty-​five years in education and church ministry, I have come to realize a need for Christian theatre in an entertainment-​driven society
