• Theophilus – The Musical is the sequel to the hugely successful Risen! The Musical www.risenthemusical.com  which culminates with Jesus ascending to heaven. Now, in Theophilus- The Musical, Gospel writer Luke is reunited with his patron, Theophilus to continue the story; describing how the Gospel has spread far and wide. Theophilus is projected into the dramatic events of the acts of the apostles, undertaking a journey of faith- challenged by issues as how God is good even though life is so often bad.
