(December 19, 2024) Los Angeles, CA.- Acclaimed Playwright, Don B. Welch returns with, the rousing hand clapping foot stomping gospel play, “HEAVENBOUND”. Six ordinary Christians who have passed on, meet in a place called “Almost-In-Heaven”. They have been sent to a room to audition for ‘The Beams of Heaven’ gospel choir. To become a “Beam”, the audition consists of a life testimony, a song or both, and how one lived their life down on earth. What seems to be an easy task turns out to be a much more difficult one as the potential “Beams” are given one last unexpected “test” of their faith”.
HEAVENBOUND guest stars Tony Award Winner & 4-time Grammy nominee Melba Moore (Broadway: “Purlie, “Hair” “Timbuktu” with Eartha Kitt to name a few. Hit songs: “Lean On Me”, “You Stepped Into My Life” “Falling” & “Lift Every Voice & Sing” which is in the United States Congressional Record as the official Negro National Anthem in 1990), and hit R&B singer Kenny Lattimore ( Hit songs: “For You”, “Never To Busy”, “Days Like This’, “Love Me Back” & “Take A Dose”) Also starring Grammy nominee Angie Fisher(“IRS”) and many more.
