JOEY HALLELUJAH RETURNS IN A BRAND NEW COMEDY

Of course, we couldn’t bring back Joey Hallelujuah and leave out the lovable Apostle John. In this new play, the sequel to SAINT JOHN & THE TELEVANGELIST, Joey is attempting to restore Hallelujah International Ministries to its former popularity. His claims of traveling back through time and meeting the Apostle John on the Island of Patmos have damaged his credibility and taken a toll on contributions.

In the midst of preparing a nationally televised crusade, the Lord has a new and hilarious miracle for the Reverend Joey Hallelujah. He brings John to the 21st century, and right into Joey’s television studio.

Like their first encounter, this one will make you laugh, but within all the hilarious antics of these two unforgettable characters, there is a thought-provoking message that comes packaged in a totally unexpected way.

When I sat down to begin writing this play, it was with a lot of trepidation. Everyone loved the original play so much. Could a sequel measure up?

With Glenn Polk and Bill Woodard reprising their roles as Joey Hallelujah and the Apostle John, I didn’t have to worry about the humor. Just looking at them together on the stage makes us laugh. What I worried about was the substance. We never want the plays at Ragtown to merely entertain. Our commitment is to convey the Gospel. To present the Truth in a unique and memorable way, which usually means with an unexpected twist.

I am so glad that it isn’t up to me. The Lord always shows up. This time, I have to admit, I was taken completely by surprise. I know this had to be the Lord’s doing, because I couldn’t have come up with it on my own. Even as I was writing, I found myself laughing and shaking my head. I definitely felt like I was thinking outside the boat. (Wait till you hear that song :))

The funny thing is, I don’t know of any message that any of the plays have presented that has ministered to me more personally. Every day since I finished writing JOEY HALLELUJAH! GOD LOVES AMERICA! I have been drawn back to the message John is sent to deliver.

I hope it does the same for everyone who sees it.

I’m also very excited about the new show the Ragtown Gospel Band has been working hard to put together for you. We’ve taken some great old songs and refurbished them Ragtown Gospel style, plus I’ve written a couple of tunes that I think you’ll like.
