Yahweh RYSE presented an on-stage production entitled “Even Me” to hundreds on Dec. 2 at the Byham Theater. The original production walked the audience through the captivating crucifixion story of Jesus Christ, but through the eyes of a child.
Yahweh RYSE Founder, Creative Director and Show Coordinator Jordan Welch said, “This was a one night only production! A production I am sure touched lives and inspired many this holiday season.”
The production was comprised of 100 youth (ages 5-18) from throughout the Pittsburgh area. The holiday play was an event made for the entire family to enjoy.
“Amazing Production! I felt like I was on Broadway in NYC. Thank you, Yahweh RYSE, young ladies and gentleman, children, parents, musicians, and volunteers. Thank you, Pittsburgh’s own,” said attendee Cookie Parker.
Bernard Bloom, the director of production at the Byham, said, “(It was) so nice working with you, Jordan, and you’re talented company! Welcome to the Byham Theater family.”
Families, community leaders, and people from different neighborhoods and churches filled the venue in support of the production.
“I enjoyed hearing the sounds of Jordan Welch. One of the best singers and song writers of this generation,” Julian Hunt said.
Welch said, “I received so many words that melted my heart. It’s not easy being a rookie among professionals but yet they welcomed us with amazing open arms, and took great care of us. Thank you Lord! Was truly a night to remember.”
The play was not only designed to show the story of Christ, but also to bring the youth closer to knowing Christ.
“This is exactly what Yahweh RYSE is for––to provide new opportunities and make dreams come true for the younger generations, and bring them closer to Christ for themselves. This is why I’ll never stop,” Welch said.
