Welcome to the the official website of Lights Up Productions inc. We are a Christian theater company dedicated to writing and producing quality theater in the style of today's contemporary Broadway musical. To many people, Christian drama or Christian theater does not have a good reputation. We hope to change that and for the last 10 years Brent Grosvenor has dedicated his life to writing relevant musicals with unforgettable music and songs and intriguing dialogue that is not corny (if you know what we mean).
His touring included the show "Sunday in Manhattan," which is about the life and legacy of Billy Sunday, the "baseball evangelist." His Christmas production entitled "The Richest Man in the Valley" is available for licensing for churches and theater groups. It is a fun and timeless Christmas show that nearly any size church or drama group can perform. Yes, people still actually perform cantatas, but aren't they a little 80's? If you are looking for an Easter production, Brent's newest musical is also ready for licensing. This new epic style show is about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Perform "The Passion of th King" this Easter of 2009.
We will continue to strive to take Christian theater to another level. The up and coming rock/symphonic style musical "The Lost Son" will be theater unlike anything else. This is currently in production.
Lastly, please understand what we mean by "Christian" theater. This is simply a way of helping people know the nature of our foundational ethics and values. If you are not a Christian we believe that you will respect and appreciate our shows and artistic work as well as the heart in which they are presented. We hope you can see one of our musicals and continue to come back to our site. Visit the blog of Brent Grosvenor
Oooooohhhhhhhhhh... One more thing. Do you wonder why we rarely ever use the term "Christian Drama?" We have a real struggle with the term "Christian DRAMA." Yes, the real problem is "drama" and what it means. Perhaps we mention this too much and perhaps it offends some people, but Christian Drama has a fairly bad reputation, especially in the secular theater industry and mainstream performing arts. To many people, Christian drama simply means Christian skits or Christian human videos. So when we say "Christian Theater" we mean going beyond the usual bad dialogue, over-dramatized, bad set design, poor sound, par 56 light, same ol', same ol.' Does this make sense? Sorry if it offends you. No more "Christian Drama." Lets do Theater.
