But a singular sermon that will radically shift the church’s teachings starts a ripple effect that could have devastating consequences both personally and professionally. Additional info: Rehearsals will begin in early September and will be based on actor availability. Please be prepared to list known conflicts. WHAT TO PREPARE For “SINGERS,” please prepare one minute of a contemporary gospel/praise and worship song. A backing track is preferred but acapella is acceptable. A Bluetooth speaker will be provided.
