We perform our own orignal musicals. We have had great success in this over the years with multiple sell out shows! Every musical contains a message of faith.
How are parts in a musical allocated?
We hold auditions for parts within the musical towards the begining of the rehearsal schedule.

No, but an audition is required and if passed you will be in!
How much does it cost?
Manna Ministries was founded by the Crick family, who are passionate about seeing musical theatre used to share the gospel. As a family they volunteer full time and upaid to support the mission of Manna. So, we would ask as a memeber of Manna Theatre Company to donate a monthly ammount of your choice, split two ways. Half to support the ministry overheads and half to support the Crick family who run it.
