A Story Of Decisions People Make About God

IT'S NOT TOO LATE is a Christian play - a musical drama - based on the Columbine tragedy. It is a story of decisions people make about God.

The most important decision we make in life is the one we make about God. The path we choose to take, especially the choice we make about God, has enormous consequences for our lives and for the lives of others.

The Bible says that "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judg so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." (Hebrews 9:27,28 NIV)

This Christian play has a simple yet powerful message. It's too late for some to take a different path in life. But for the rest of us --- it's not too late.

This Christian drama script was originally performed by members of the Niwot High School Bible Club (Niwot, Colorado) and students from Longmont Christian School (Longmont, Colorado).There were 6 performances from April 9, 2000 through May 13, 2000. Over 500 people saw the play. Many have beeb moved to re-evaluate their own relationship with God as well as the urgent need to share with others the truth about God and His love for them.

Since then, over 135 groups in the United States, Canada, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Romania, Denmark, the Philippines, Iran, and other countries have performed the play. It has been translated and/or performed in several foreign languages including Russian, Danish, and Spanish. It's estimated that over 60,000 people worldwide have seen the play so far (during over 265 performances). Many reported the moving and powerful affect the play has had on audience and cast members. Some of their comments can be found on the comments page. A schedule of current and past performances can be found on the performance history

This play is 60 minutes long and takes a cast of 11-12. It has 20 minutes of music (all l). All music is either soloist or instrumental, although there is some optional group or choir songs in the music book. Parts can be "shared" to accommodate larger casts. It can also be performed as a drama by dropping the music, or as a more robust musical by adding additional songs. The music can also be dropped and the play performed as a drama (there are alternate scenes for the scenes with music).
