Christian Drama Ministry

"Drama, The Visual Language"
If you are a director seriously trying to develop a core acting team that you can go to time after time throughout the year, then this book is a must. With many years of acting in the church atmosphere, Howi shares his ideas on the Christian approach to acting and aids the Christian actor through the character development process. The motivation for the Christian actor can be different than the secular actor. So, Howi discusses that driving force and also shares his ideas on the three basic elements of communicating on the stage and how to implement them into your next play or sketch. A must for the serious Christian actor that wants to learn to become believable, complex and move with ebb and flow.
