Faith and Creativity in unity
Faith and Creativity in unity
My first full script, Inspiropera (2019), explored the Father’s love through sacrifice, justice, and reconciliation. After a season away from writing, I returned to playwriting while auditing theatre courses at Oral Roberts University — where structured constraints sharpened my allegorical voice and thematic clarity.
The Father's Love
Written & Co-Directed with Mkay Ahndie
A dramatic exploration of the Father’s love told through a fractured father–son relationship. When a wayward son faces legal consequences, his father takes the fall — forcing the son to confront sacrifice, guilt, and reconciliation.
The narrative unfolds through themes of forgiveness, grief, and redemption, culminating in the son’s awakening to the weight of love given freely.
10-Minute Allegorical Play
Inspired by Psalm 103, the play stages forgiveness as visible action. A pardoned soldier’s “sins” are symbolically removed before a king, while two embittered courtiers journey east and west in search of what no longer exists.
Their endless circling reveals a central truth: directions are not destinations. The allegory mirrors condemnation’s futility — and the restless pursuit of guilt where grace has already spoken.

Short Play Written for a Fringe Festival
In the city of Corinth, a public dispute arises over who is the greatest among Faith, Hope, and Love, inspired by Paul’s letter on virtues. The citizens argue that Faith should be supreme, since it produces tangible results, while Love’s demands seem too high. Faith, Hope, and Love appear in the Metro Desk of Corinth, not to fight among themselves but to clarify their interdependence, demonstrating to the public that none operates alone and that true greatness comes from unity and mutual support.

My playwriting leans toward allegory — staging spiritual tensions as human conflict, and allowing abstract truths to take visible form.
