Dramatic Truth: Dance and Theater as a Mission Field - EP 127

Send us Fan Mail

Dramatic Truth Ballet Theatre and School of the Arts is quietly shaping dancers into “dance missionaries” in South Kansas City—artists who carry the gospel through excellence in the performing arts. In this episode, we sit down with Executive Director Amy Scrivner and Artistic Director Abby Tyson to explore how Dramatic Truth:

• Trains students in classical ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, Irish, contemporary, and musical theatre
• Uses storytelling and choreography as a language for communicating biblical truth
• Disciples young artists to see their craft as worship and mission, not just performance
• Ministers in churches, schools, nursing homes, and overseas, taking the gospel to diverse audiences
• Shares the story of Christ through their signature production, “The Mystery of Christmas,” a Christ-centered reimagining of The Nutcracker
• Invites the wider Body of Christ to partner through scholarships, dancer support, donations, and hosting performances

You’ll hear how God is reclaiming the arts, why dance and theatre are powerful spiritual battlegrounds, and how Dramatic Truth is raising up a new generation of artists who “have the faith to share the faith” on and off the stage.
