Web's
general philosophy when it comes to Christianity and the Dramatic Arts
centers around Truth. Drama is about searching for it: the "truth
of the moment," the "spine of the character," the "heart
of the matter." Christianity is about knowing it: embodied in the
person of Jesus Christ. Thus, Christian Drama is the ultimate
expression of Truth. Web tries to express that Truth every time he
takes to the stage, through a variety of ways of course, but always a search
for and expression of Truth.
ACTING Web
has performed before churches, conferences, festivals, and select audiences
for almost 20 years. Recently, he has been showing "Perspectives
on the Cross" which features 10 voices of those who were at the
cross or were directly affected by it. This performance set has been
put on cd and is for sale through this site if you are interested. Just
use the contact information below. His other sets include "Voices
of Joseph" which is a chronological exploration of what Jesus'
earthly father went through leading up to the birth, "Profiles in
Courage" which examines those who have died or lived for their faith,
and "Stories from the Book" which is a large selection of
one monologue from every book in the Bible that can be arranged to meet a
variety of performance needs. TEACHING Web
is Associate Professor and Chair the Department of Communication Arts at
Union University. In that capacity, he has had the opportunity to work
with some excellent young actors. He also taught at the Mississippi
Christian Performing Arts Festival every year. He has also worked with
the Robert Powers organization and done a good bit of private consultation as
well. Whatever your goal, Web can get you there! DIRECTING Web
directed a major production in Aven Little Theater on the campus of
Mississippi College for the 10 years. He now directs in W.D. Powell
Theater at Union University. His most
recent offering was his own work, "Reap the Whirlwind." He
has directed Moliere, Tennessee Williams, Lillian Hellman, Oscar Wilde, and
others. He has also helped individuals prepare for performance
auditions in a variety of venues from screen to stage. WRITING Web's
first foray into the full-length play is "Reap the Whirlwind."
The play is somewhat of a response to the classic, "Inherit the
Wind." This time, the evidence in favor of evolution does come up
for examination, unlike the original which reversed what happened
historically by making the prosecution the ones who kept science out of the
courtroom. The play was extremely well received at Mississippi College
where it debuted this past October. Web is currently undertaking the
arduous task of publishing the play in a more universal format. He is
also wrote "So, What Happened Was. . . Viewpoints and Stories"
which is a collection of the monologues from which he does his repertory
performances.
