America Awake – A Live Theatrical Experience
America Awake: A Live Theatrical Experience
Before there was a United States of America, there was a spiritual awakening.
America Awake is a powerful live theatrical experience that transports audiences to the American colonies during the extraordinary days of the First Great Awakening. Through dramatic storytelling, stirring music, and unforgettable performances, witness how God moved in a generation and ignited a revival that helped shape the destiny of a nation.
Hear the thunderous voice of George Whitefield, whose open-air preaching drew tens of thousands and called the colonies to repentance and renewed faith in Christ. Experience the steadfast conviction of John Wesley, whose message of holy living and transformed hearts helped ignite a movement that would impact generations. Step into the world of Benjamin Franklin, whose friendship with Whitefield reveals the fascinating intersection of faith, reason, and the emerging American identity.
Discover the remarkable story of John Marrant, a free-born African American whose life was transformed at thirteen after hearing George Whitefield preach. A gifted musician turned missionary, Marrant journeyed through the wilderness, ministered among Cherokee communities, and later became an ordained minister in England, leaving a lasting legacy of faith that crossed racial and cultural boundaries.
America Awake brings these intertwined stories to life, revealing a revival that touched preachers and printers, intellectuals and laborers, the enslaved and the free, settlers and Native peoples. Long before independence was declared, the Great Awakening stirred hearts throughout the colonies, challenging the status quo and reminding a generation that true transformation begins within.
More than a historical production, America Awake is an invitation to remember the spiritual awakening that helped shape a nation—and to ask what God might do again in our own day.
What could happen if America awakened once more? Join us for this inspiring and thought-provoking theatrical experience as history comes alive and the echoes of revival call to a new generation.
