Executive Artistic Director’s Note

Based on the New York Times Bestseller, God’s Smuggler, this world-premiere musical by progressive rock icon, Neal Morse, is an adventurous true story of indelible faith.  When one has an encounter with the risen Christ, that person is changed entirely.  This is the very heart of the gospel.  Andrew van der Bijl, a young Dutch soldier post WWII, had just such an encounter and becomes permanently changed by his newfound faith.  Upon learning of the troubles for believers and non-believers alike behind the iron wall, Brother Andrew takes up his courage and begins to smuggle Bibles past the Eastern Bloc to bring the good news to those who need to hear it most.  Filled with unforgettable music, Brother Andrew is a powerful story of daring, obedience, and love.  I’m absolutely thrilled that our audiences at the George will be the first to experience it. 

Theatre is an art form that from its inception has had the proven power to move and to stir the human spirit. This can have a wide variety of manifestations. We are often stirred up, and that kind of event can have us needing to talk to someone about it. We recommend that you find a licensed mental healthcare professional to help you work through difficult feelings that may have been stirred up by a play. You should always work with someone that you have a great connection with. If you need help starting that process, we recommend our partners at Ellie Mental Health as a starting place.

You might also be stirred to do something about how a particular play made you feel. Below we have provided a quick link to be able to donate to us here at the A. D. Players at the George Theatre. As a 501(c)3, we rely heavily on donations to continue the work that we do. If, however, you want to do something meaningful about some of the issues addressed by our shows, we are also including links to organizations that do meaningful work in the areas addressed by the content of our show. These are not exhaustive options, but merely starting places to help you on your journey to continue to effect change in your world.
