Theatre
“Evangelistic drama is one way of meeting people on their ground, not ours.”
Do we want to pose a question? Introduce a moral dilemma? Tell a story? We can do all that and much more through theatre. Theatre may be the most powerful way to communicate the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ. We can do theatre performances anywhere, anytime – we only need a bit of space and a prop or two.
In TACO, we use theatre, with no words or many, to draw a crowd, share the gospel message or simply open the door to spiritual conversations. While we have not done a lot of events that are solely theatre or full length dramas, we have found that performances which combine theatre with music and other arts can be very effective. The words may be limited, but the body language is universal.

Lives touched by drama
"During one of our tours, we were doing street performances. We usually started with music, dances and other things to attract a crowd, and ended with a final drama. Then we invited people to stay behind to talk to us. The drama we used illustrated God’s creation and the salvation brought by Jesus. After the show I could easily start conversations with 'Did you like our last drama?; or 'Do you know what our last drama meant?' And then was able to share the whole gospel message.
We never know what part of a performance encourages people to open their hearts for the Holy Spirit to work: was it the music, the dance, the drama, the personal testimony after the shows …? But during that tour, two people came to the Lord. It was a delight to work with a team of people, to share about our Lord Jesus Christ, and to see lives changed when God touches their hearts."
