The art of storytelling… that’s what theater truly is. When you can create believable characters, place them in new worlds and give them situations and circumstances that create conflict, resolution and develop relationships… you’re telling a good story. There’s so much about live theater that we, as the audience, can enjoy. The lights, the scenery, the costumes and props, and watching our friends and loved ones put themselves into a new scenario, and maybe stretch themselves beyond their normal boundaries, and do it with excellence, that’s when theater truly comes alive!
Jesus understood the art of storytelling. So often he chose to teach a life principle by using a “parable” also known as… a STORY. He could help people relate to characters and situations by teaching through this means, and thereby communicate on a deeper level. He was a great story teller!
Legacy Christian Academy (and formerly Xenia Christian) has a rich history of telling great stories, and doing it with excellence. We are pleased to be able to take young men and women and grow them in their talents and abilities (some of whom never knew such abilities even existed within themselves!). We love to provide our school community with the opportunity to experience life through someone else’s eyes. We love to tell a great story!
