Devotional Five: The Baker’s Wife
Welcome to the Director's Cut
​
Hello, my name is Zachary Roberts, and I am the Fine Arts Director at North Raleigh Christian Academy. Squire Theatre embarks on the 2024-2025 Season of Story, presenting two fantastic musicals: the epic Into the Woods and the Broadway classic Hello, Dolly! Squire Theatre seeks to know Christ and make Him known. To intentionally help our audiences engage with the truths of our performances, we are now offering a slate of new resources, including a devotional series to go along with each production, a student artist spotlight series, and articles designed to help us biblically engage with today's culture. See you at the theater!
Theatrical Theology: Thoughts on Theatre at NRCA
​
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage gives voice to the meaning of theatre: “...theatre should be a place of transformation, a place where we can collectively explore society’s wounds, unearth difficult truths, and wrestle with untidy human emotions.” As Squire Theatre prepares for each production, we desire to share how you, our audience, can interact with the truths of Scripture while enjoying excellent theatre. Theatrical Theology will give devotional thought to the themes and characters of each Squire Theatre production. NRCA’s Squire Theatre hopes to help families transform, explore, unearth, and wrestle with truth in light of Christ’s work and God’s Word.
Student Artist Spotlight
​
Have you ever wondered how our student artists bring works of art into being? Once a month, we will bring you an interview with one of NRCA’s outstanding student artists. We will ask them about their creative process, seek to understand why they create, and learn how they relate their creativity to their faith. Join us for an inside look at the creative minds of NRCA’s student artists.
Cultural Commentary: Caring about Culture Christianly
​
As parents, we are constantly bombarded with cultural influences that don’t align with a Christian worldview. How can we understand whether a song, movie, or other cultural artifact is worthwhile and meaningful? Cultural Commentary seeks to help parents, families, and students navigate and interact with culture that doesn’t share a Christian understanding of how the world works. We can care for our culture in ways that reflect Christ and honor the values and standards of the Christian faith.
