Obsidian Theater's Original Christmas Show is Fun with Lots of Music

Second New Greater Lesser Mt Zion Bethel Church needs an amazing Christmas pageant to save the church. Can they pull it off? Find out in Obsidian Theater original GO YELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN.

The Second New Greater Lesser Mt Zion Bethel Church has been around for 75 years but now a nearby mega church wants to knock it down to build the Heavenly Palace Bowling Lanes. To save their church, the flock of SNGLMZBC decides to draw attention and rally the city to save their church by staging a big, showy, heart-warming Christmas pageant. So they ask an outside theatre director to help. Traditions and characters clash, but great music and the story pull everyone together.

Obsidian Theater is proud to present the fun, farcical Christmas musical comedy, conceptualized by Tom Stell, its creative and artistic director. Rozie Curtis directs. Curtis has over 25 years of diverse theatre experience as an actor, director, choreographer and writer. Much of her recent directing work has been done with Theatre Under the Stars and Disney. The director also created and directed the drama ministry for the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston for 15 years.
