Time...when the ticking is done - tour California

Having the time of our lives with, "Time...when the ticking is done", tour in California. Tonight is our fourth performance. God is awesomely reaching the audience with this play. With the subject of the rapture and time ending, it's seems like it would be an over the top script...very heavy play, but it's not...yet we've had a fantastic altar response by every age. "Time...when the ticking is done", is the funnest play we've done on this annual tour. What a great mix of comedy, mime, poetry, reader's theater, black light effects and scripture. It only has a cast of four, (MorF). I hope to have some pics of the set and maybe a few shots of one of the performances up on the blog and our website soon.

The cast of 4 is Howi Tiller, Terry Vik, Gaylen Cantrell and Kelly Ventura
We've been
Merced
Ontario
Rialto
Arroyo Grande

Up next is

Kerman
Turlock
Sacramento
Hanford

Talk to you later or after the ticking is done.

Easter weekend

What a great week. Taught some wonderful teens Now Behold the Lamb, Let the Veil Down, Who Am I (black light version), Shake the Foundation With Praise. Had a friend learn the reader's theater, The Thorns Have a Rose and I did Someday, Came Today. What's nice is all of these pieces can be done anytime.

We'd love to hear how some of your Easter weekends went for you. Please email us anytime at howitiller@aol.com to communicate comments or if you have any questions.

Next up St. Louis national music conference.

Getting ready for Easter in Lafayette, Louisiana

Well, still dealing with vertigo, but 85% back to normal.

Anyway, I just spent 5 days in Lafayette, LA with about 20 youth...getting them ready for their Easter Sunday morning. Taught them Now Behold the Lamb, Let the Veil Down, Shake the Foundation, Light Your World, For Every Mountain. Also, coached two actors for the monologues, "Six", and "Someday, Came Today". Rehearsals went really well and they are going to have an exciting Sunday morning without turning their church platform into Jerusalem and losing the usage of the platform for two months. There isn't anything wrong with the full length plays for Easter, but sometimes it's nice to have a break and yet still have a very rewarding drama presentation that the audience is going to love.

Now, I'm back home in Omaha and getting our drama team ready for Easter.

Ukrainian Video

Had the opportunity to help on a video documenting an effort to help kids on the streets of the cities in Ukrain. It's was so sad to see the faces of children abandoned by parents. Some of the kids were as young as four years old on up.
There is a group out of Canada that is making strides to house and feed kids that are ready to come off of the streets and turn their lives around. They have a house for girls and a family type orphange for both girls and boys. I'd love to go and do some street drama in Kiev and other cities there.
My involvement in this video was one of creative input, like using the right music and when to use music and when not to...sound levels,etc. It's a video that will be used to raise money for the further ministry to this nation.

Couldn't tell up from down

Man...did I ever have the most debilitating experience in my life. We're adding on an addition to our home and I was standing on the roof with my son and son in law went I was hit by a mac truck called vertigo. I'd heard of vertigo, but never in my wildest dreams was I prepared for this. I couldn't move my head of the roof. When it hit me, I immediately laid out out the roof and told my son SPencer the something was wrong. I didn't know it was vertigo. I was spelling my name and counting backwards...thinking I just had stroke or something. I could think just fine, but any time I tried to life my head off the roof...well...I don't need to tell to...I think you know. It took a half hour just to get me to the ground. My wife didn't know what to do...so my living room is filled parmedics and EMTs working on me and well...that was one week ago and after 3 days of being in the hospital, I still can't walk straight. It's getting better and the doctor said it would take about 3 weeks for me to back to normal. I missed one of my assignments last weekend, but they have rescheduled and I wasn't suppose to fly out yesterday for St. Louis, but hey...someone has to pay the bills and so I just asked the Lord to help and He did. Last night my friend (Terry Vik) and I did our drama tag team ministry in a church in St. Louis. I did most of my mine sitting down. This morning we teamed up again to do the full length play, The Prisoner of God at a seminary graduate school. My imbalance actually played nicely into my aging characterization of the Apostle Paul...so, you see it all works out for the good to them love the Lord. I hope no one ever has to deal with vertigo...it's almost as bad as passing a kidney stone....but that's another story for another time.

Next up: Belleville, Ill

A Theatrical Blast
An inspirational look at the rapture through a wonderful mix of mime, percussion (but you don't have to be a drummer), dowel rod, poetry, reader's theater, comedy, and black light. Your actors are going to love the action in this play. It is a theatrical blast of tics and tocs that keeps the audience on the edge of their seat. Great for any atmosphere...Sunday night or dinner drama and every venue in between.
Cast of 4 male of female

Running time: about 70 minutes

If you are looking for something to do that is just a huge blast, but has an incredible message, then Time!, is it. It's fun to do and easy to memorize because so much of the script is non verbal, dowel rod, mime and reader's theater.

You've got to do this play this summer for a dinner drama. You can order at our website. We'll post pictures of our tour later in April.

Next up: Cameron, MO. Terri and I are doing a marriage seminar, couples banquet and I will be doing Close Friends in 2 days. The on to St.Louis.
