Pilgrim is a full-length, two-act "Broadway style" musical running 120 minutes
and suitable for performance by high school, college or mixed age casts.
This contemporary musical, which debuted in 2009, is an adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work,
Pilgrim's Progress. Using Bunyan's allegories, the play conveys biblical themes of faith, repentance, friendship, hardship, temptation, death and eternity. From feedback we've received, cast members often experience a deep spiritual journey along with the audience.
The DVD has been reviewed by bloggers
Joshua Harris and
Justin Taylor.
Taylor writes,
"One of the things I love about this DVD is the way it’s instructing our kids on multiple levels: the centrality of the cross, the sufficiency of the Word,...
the guidance and protection of God,... the importance of true friendship. It’s all done with excellence."
Feedback
Pilgrim has been successfully performed by a number of schools, churches and home school groups (
see Past & Upcoming Shows). Director Briana Williamson writes,
"So many people told us how (Pilgrim) encouraged them, that it opened doors
to further share the Gospel with friends and family, and even that they had been
praying for something like this to come to our community! ... The cast grew so much in their walks with the Lord; it was SUCH a blessing
to see each of them mature." (
