We are wary of the word performance. This word conjures up images of a very secular utilization of the arts in the name of entertainment. Ironically, there is an apparent contradiction and a reality that cannot be escaped: during our theatrical concerts the message is performed. The concerts are constructed around a message that is delivered in urgency. Not just theatre, and not merely a concert, the theatrical concerts implement Pastor Sam’s love songs, lamentations and concepts, integrated into a variety of new and original elements which include fine art, dance, visuals, drama, and spoken word and poetry. It is a unique experience.

Message in the Music

Interactive Art Exhibition
At the theatrical concerts, the journey begins from the moment you enter the door. Immediately you are confronted by The Secret Place interactive art exhibit and installation by fine artist Duda Penteado. The art is prophetic and interpretive of the music: the valley of dry bones, an emissary on a mission, and at the heart of the presentation are blue leaves that are for the healing of the nations. Visitors to the exhibit are drawn in to interact and participate with various art installations.

Behind the Scenes
Look at what goes into the making of the theatrical concerts. Dress rehearsals, concept meetings, set-building etc. See what it really takes to do what we do.

The Challenge
The Challenge concerts are a series of concerts designed specifically for a church environment. Centered around the songs of our Pastor of Worship Arts, Sam Cintron, the name indicates the purpose, these concerts are designed to challenge the body of Christ to be strong, be bold and be holy. While keeping some of the elements of the theatrical concert, every challenge concert is different, meeting the needs of the specific church body in which we are ministering. The focus is always on the message while maintaining an atmosphere of worship and intercession.
