Riding Lights Theatre

Riding Lights Theatre Company - Origins and Lemons
18 November 2009 at Christchurch

The renowned theatre company, Riding Lights, will be visiting Christchurch on the evening of 18 November to perform their new production on the book of Genesis and the creation story - Origins and Lemons.

Riding Lights has always played an important role in entertaining the Christian community. The company has been able to tell moving stories, stimulate discussion and focus attention on significant current issues. In this way, the company has helped to articulate a christian voice within the wider community. Plays on science and faith, international debt, playground violence, fair trade, terrorism, living out the Gospel, parenting, the plight of the Palestinian church, and clean water for all are just some of the subjects which have led to the 2009 production Origins & Lemons.

Tickets are likely to be much in demand so please put the date in your diary and keep an eye open for further details which will be in the weekly notices and advertised on the church noticeboards.

Riding Lights is going back to the very Beginning. Back to its own traditions of biblically-inspired entertainment . . . With zing, zest and a little zoology, examining "the why of the world" and the reasons we had such a Good Start in Life.
Refreshingn songs, stand-up, stories and sketches, from Paul Burbridge to Nigel Forde, to the infinite majesty of the universe. Everything's here: God talks to man, woman talks to snake, talking's confused at Babel, Noah talks to Darwin, Jesus talks to his disciples . . . stupendous acts of creation theatre!
In considerably less than six days, Riding Lights explores the truth and the conjecture, the Bible and the questions. With honesty, awe, imagination and laughter, this is a highly entertaining plunge into the issues that have aroused our curiosity since the Dawn of Time and Plastic Rainwear.
