There are many myths associated with being a Christian and being a Theatre artist. Theatre and Faith are compatible areas of life. God created human beings with the ability to create, and He has gifted many people with various talents, including Theatre. We as Christians can give this art form its own sense of worth as a tool for ministry and as a way to creatively educate and entertain those around us. As part of the Reformed Biblical worldview, we are called to be transforming agents in this world.
Theatre is a powerful and valid means to transform the world.
If you answer that you intend to do ministry, people tend to react more positively and often encourage you to go out and proselytize. If you answer that you wish to go into the professional world, people assume that you are very liberal and that you are going to lose your faith. If we choose ministry-related Drama, let us function within faith to produce quality works to illustrate and effectively spread God ' s love. If we choose a professional path, let us remember to be accountable and to take on a sense of responsibility for keeping true to our faith. If we falsely assume that in order for people to work in and amongst Christians that they can ' t be struggling or different from us, than we ourselves need not be working as well.
