Is this production family friendly? For what ages is it appropriate?

Yes, it is family friendly and appropriate for all ages. It is a lively, life-giving, faith-based, production that young and old will undoubtedly enjoy and be impacted by. There is one scene in the first act that might be a challenge for younger viewers to watch that depicts a battle between good and evil. It is intense, but also brief, so please consider this when making your decision to bring the young ones.

Arise Collective is based in Michigan and will be offering performances in the future, locally and elsewhere. Stay tuned to our website and social media for more info.
