BROTHER ANDREW to be Presented at George Theater

Experience the world-premiere musical Brother Andrew at George Theater. This World premiere musical is directed by A.D. Player at the George Theater’s’ Executive Artistic Director Jayme McGhan. 

This A.D. Players’ original play is inspired by the New York Times bestseller book, God’s Smuggler, written by Brother Andrew and John and Elizabeth Sherrill.  Born in the Netherlands in 1928, Brother Andrew grew up in the shadow of war.  One child of six in a poor family, he enlisted and fought in the Indonesian National Revolution, the killings of which impacted him significantly and brought him to the Lord.  After training to become a missionary in Scotland, Brother Andrew visited a student festival in Warsaw where he was told by a Christian bookstore owner that the Soviet Union suffered from lack of Bibles.  The Dutchman from then on dedicated himself to bringing God’s Word to endangered places, often risking his life to do so, getting past guards and border control.  God’s protection of this faithful servant in his journey beyond the Iron Curtain is seen within this incredible play, made especially vivid with original music written by American progressive rock icon Neal Morse.
