A community of playwrights, actors, directors, designers and other theater artists who share a Christian worldview and a passion for excellence.
About Theater Christians
Does this sound familiar?
You love the process of working with your local theater—but you’re constantly pressured to compromise your values and your faith.

Whether you’re in a small town or large city, avocational or professional, we want to help you connect with other “theater Christians” with whom you can make friends and collaborate.
Mission & Values
Together, we will:
Connect like-minded Christian theater artists for fellowship and collaboration.
Promote the development of excellence in craft.
Facilitate the development of authentic new plays and musicals that challenge and entertain audiences while amplifying biblical truth.
Join our online community
Our private community is just getting started, and you are invited to join. It includes a Green Room (Group Chat), and detailed personal profile options that, as our numbers grow, will help you identify others with similar roles and interests (not only online, but geographically!) and share personal websites.
In the future, the platform will also include events such as meetings, classes and table reads.
Community membership is currently at no charge. When you follow the link below, you’ll be asked to register and answer a few screening questions. Your information will not be shared.
We hope to meet you soon!
