Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage are an American actor and actress, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who touches alcohol for the first time in her life, four men in clergyman suits presenting the problem of which is which, a disguised escaped prisoner, and a sedate Bishop aghast at all the goings on and the trumped up stories they tell him.

When Noah, his wife, three sons, and their three wives arrive singing a welcome to the animals, the audience discovers they are the animals welcomed to the ark.

Their three sons are played by Zachary Arneson, Jackson Liedl and JT Koser, three young men with exceptional voices and much acting background. They are paired with three young ladies who also bring strong, clear voices and much enthusiasm to the stage: Milena Swanson, Brianna Arneson and Emillie Hines.
Altar Boyz
Book by KEVIN DEL AGUILA; Music & Lyrics by GARY ADLER & MICHAEL PATRICK WALKER
Conceived by Marc Kessler & Ken Davenport
Presented through special arrangement with R & H TEHATRICALS
www.rnh.com
ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national "Raise the Praise" tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. The Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. They finally deliver a message of unity, that "there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice."
