Melba Moore, Kenny Lattimore & More to Star in HEAVENBOUND at The Wilshire Ebell Theater
The performance will take place on Saturday January 11th, 2025.
Acclaimed Playwright, Don B. Welch will return with, the rousing hand clapping foot stomping gospel play, “HEAVENBOUND”. Six ordinary Christians who have passed on, meet in a place called “Almost-In-Heaven”. They have been sent to a room to audition for ‘The Beams of Heaven’ gospel choir. To become a “Beam”, the audition consists of a life testimony, a song or both, and how one lived their life down on earth. What seems to be an easy task turns out to be a much more difficult one as the potential “Beams” are given one last unexpected “test” of their faith”.
