It is with regret that Christian Voices announce that the performances of Justice from the Judge, scheduled for September / October 2018, have been postponed.
We wish all our sick and injured performers (yep, we’ve been hit hard) speedy recoveries and the best of health over the autumn months.
Christian Voices will return, and Justice from the Judge will be handed down in 2019.
Christian Voices celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. Their next play is “Justice from the Judge” and is based on the parable of the persistent widow.
A widow is wronged and seeks justice from a corrupt Judge who does not respect or fear God. She will not stop asking the Judge until she is given justice.
Christian Voices are pleased to announce that through the generosity of our audiences we have raised an astonishing £805 for our selected charity, Poor Clares Convent in Lynton.
Alan Young’s sister was a nun at the Franciscan order until her tragic death last October. Alan is the founder of Christian voices and wrote the play, Leap of Faith.
We’d like to send a big thank you to all who donated so generously.
From the Poor Clares website:
The Poor Clares are a contemplative order founded 800 years ago by St Clare of Assisi, under the inspiration and guidance of St Francis. They are known as the Second Order of St. Francis and their houses can be found in every continent in the world, except Antarctica!
Vanessa Wood and John Mewett, our regular reviewers, have sent in this excellent feedback on Christian Voices’ recent (May 2018) performances of Leap of Faith.

Music – loved the melodies on the first song especially, again nice to have such a versatile music corner, piano, guitar, bass all able to add to each song and also lovely singing.
Play – a lovely story that gave great opportunities for the writing to develop each characters views on the unfolding events. Some lovely depth to the history of each character built well into the reasons for their reactions. Splendid acting as is normal for your group.
Difficult to know why or what, but this play had something different about it.
It had more depth. There were things in the story that resonated more than the others.

Another wonderful comment, this time from Barry Turnwell of Christchurch Methodist Church, on Christian Voices’ performances of Leap of Faith.
…Just a short note to thank you and the members of Christian Voices for another excellent performance at Christchurch and, as you know, we always enjoy your visits. Please convey our thanks and particularly to the stand in performer who played Peter…
…we look forward to seeing you again later in the year, and possibly on a Sunday morning…
We at Christian Voices love to hear from our hosts and audiences. Of course it helps if the comments are as positive as this, from Keith Miller of Pett Methodist Church with respect to our recent (May,2018) performances of Leap of Faith.
…I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. As chairman of the Fairlight Players (a fine body of thespians established in 1950) I appreciate how much work goes into such a production. The script was very well written, and the performances by all cast members quite excellent. Dave’s music provided seamless transition between scenes and I admire anyone who can write songs to order in that way…
…Altogether, a most enjoyable morning. Please pass on my appreciation to the whole company, and I hope you will include us in your itinerary for a future production.

Excellent!

Wow! We’re ten years old!
Just a quick note to say we’ve created a special page in our “About Us” section.
We’ve had a wonderful time putting on over twenty plays in those years and hope to have many more years of spreading the Word of God throughout Sussex.
Thank you to all our actors, directors, musicians, singers, writers (of plays and songs), and all the backroom people who all help to put on a show. Plus, of course, all our brilliant hosts and audiences.
big congratulations on another fantastic play
Here’s a lovely comment from Temi, who has worked with Christian Voices in the past, on our performances of Leap of Faith.
Thanks, Temi, and we hope to have you on the other side of the footlights in the future!
