Description: Heavenly Homeward Bound (HHB) is an original gospel play written by Carl Butcher and first presented in November of 1978.

This outstanding production, “an inspirational mirror of truth,” now returns refreshingly revitalized and reimagined as a gospel musical theatre presentation. The message is still the same, in that it is still for all individuals on life’s journey who strive to stay on course as they move forward and upward, with heaven in their view! HHB is one of Carl Butcher’s “tell it like it tis” signature works among the body of works he has written, directed and staged since 1977.

This new revival production is illustrated through his new, faith-based arts ministry theatre fellowship known as ArtStry. Through a team of gifted and versatile portrayers, danceterpreters, vocalists and instrumentalists, this message comes alive onstage. This enactment is about a train, a heaven-bound train, that evolves during a Sunday morning church service, traveling toward the direction of a promise of eternal joy, peace and love. However, the price of admission is a flawless ticket for each passenger, though the price has already been paid!

Tickets: $20. Buy on-line.
