Synopsis
Dissent At The Rock is a Gospel Musical dealing with the hypocrisy and homophobia at Solid Rock Church, and its negative effects on the congregation.
Dissent explores the problems, issues and challenges of Solid Rock’s members and how they overcame them.
Freedom, an active and long-time member of the church plans a protest to counter the homophobic and hypocritical sermons being espoused from the pulpit by the church leader, Pastor Samuels, Senior. The insensitive and negative messages were directed toward a large portion of the gay and lesbian, women and the youth members of the church.
The organized protest evolved into one of national notoriety and the case is invited to the Judge Eloise Creech’s National Television Court Show. The court proceedings expose surprises for Pastor Samuels and the congregation alike. As the play progressives, we witness the transformation of Pastor Samuels, the church members and the community.
This original production will feature various genres of gospel music, from traditional to contemporary. Dissent At The Rock will have you laughing, crying, and giving praise, as it takes you on a heartfelt journey through hypocrisy, truth, compassion, understanding and love. This musical is full of unforgettable characters, music and a thematic richness that speaks directly to the audience. This musical will stimulate and challenge what you thought you knew about the Bible. It addresses biblical and social-political issues that would not only separate the church and family, but also the nation. In the final analysis you will be entertained, enlightened, and there is a real message to take home.
