Innovative Educational Programs that Elighten and Entertain

"The Search for Gold" is a musical, anti-bullying program that was commissioned by the Holocaust Commission.  They were looking for script writing from someone with educational theater experience.  They turned to David because his innovative educational programs have become a "go-to" resource for educators across Hampton Roads.  Other faith-based shows include:

• Noah's Floating Zoo
• Jonah

"From the Sea to the Sky" was commissioned by "Jamestown 2007" to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in North America.  The show combined stories of Native American people, the arrival of the first African Americans, and the continuing struggle to find freedom for all.  Other history shows include:

The Blackbeard Pirate Festival commissioned David to create a children's program for the festival's launch.  "Pirate Party" was the result and the program featured a legendary vocal cast...  Oscar Winner Mickey Rooney and Tony Award Winner Carol Channing.  Other fun progrmas include new musical adaptations of these well-known stories:
