The Kingdom of Lies Musical at Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center

Deception has unraveled human destiny since the Garden of Eden.

THE KINGDOM OF LIES is a bold new faith-based musical — making its World Premiere at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center — that names the unseen forces shaping your decisions, your identity, and your destiny, and reveals the truth that can set you free.

Featuring 19 original songs fusing gospel, jazz, and hip-hop, this electrifying musical parable delivers a genre-defying theatrical experience unlike anything you've seen before.

At the center is Pastor Carl — a man marked by profound loss, carrying a culture-shaking message for Los Angeles the kingdom of darkness cannot afford for anyone to hear. That is exactly why Master L — the Lying King — locks in on him.

A charismatic and unforgettable villain, Master L is as magnetic as he is dangerous — darkly funny, disturbingly charming, and unsettlingly familiar. He doesn't force his way in. He whispers. And somewhere along the way, you realize — you've heard that voice before.

He does not work alone. A full kingdom of darkness looms over Los Angeles — quietly influencing, distorting, and pulling people away from truth.

But this is not a horror story — it's a wildly entertaining, deeply powerful night of theater that will have audiences laughing, crying, and leaving in awe. The demons bring surprising comedy, while the characters at the heart of the story wrestle with grief, identity, family, and redemption.

Determined to silence Carl's message, Master L strikes where Carl is most vulnerable: his family. What follows isn't sudden destruction, but something far more insidious — a slow unraveling fueled by lies so subtle, so familiar, they start to feel like truth. He won't stop until Carl loses everything he loves.

Discover the secret Carl carries — and find out if the Spirit of Truth still has the power to reclaim what deception has stolen.

Written and composed by Pastor Robert E. Colwell, THE KINGDOM OF LIES premieres Saturday, June 27, 2026 — two performances only, 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM — at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center.

Seats are limited and both performances are expected to sell out. Don't wait.

Two kingdoms are at war. Which one will win in you?
