Christian Audio Drama

[Christbearer]

Hi All,

Yes I am cross posting, forgive me. I want or feel I should, compelled etc to create a Audio type production company. I have a dream to do a Nativity Drama at first and then have Christian Drama.

Now in order to do this I'll need some help. I need writers, directors, voice actors and over all interest. Right now I just want to know everyone's thought and if they would like to be a part of it.

Ooooooo, this sounds exciting!

Tell us some of the ideas you have so far.
Maybe we can add to them.

[Christbearer]

Well so far I have an idea to do an angle from the nativity. Like maybe Joseph's take or the inn keepers. Then I hope to get writers were we can produce other Christian stories and have a eposdic show or something.

My suggestion would be for you to attempt to make it as "biblical" as possible.
Following is a quiz about the Nativity, with scripture references for the answers.

Of course, there will be somethings included like a donkey and stuff, we know there were no planes and donkey's were common. I really don't think it appears because they were writing for the particular that would just know what type of transport that people used. However nothing will appear that impacts salvation. Some things in the story just are so fimilar that the quiz was quite easy in parts. I will do a one page script, rough draft to let everyone see.

From their I need people, I'm go to set up a production company site at yahoo mailing list look for EagleRay Audio Productions
