The Gospel Project
An exploration of the Sacred through theatre ministry.
A bold new gathering where theatre and ministry meet to bring good news, speak truth, build community, and make space for the sacred in fresh new ways. Supported by a grant from the Southern California Nevada Conference, this monthly worship experience launches in 2026 and weaves together story, music, movement, testimony, scripture, and sacrament into a new and transformative relation to faith.
This isn’t theatre replacing church; it’s theatre serving the Gospel, helping us become the community we keep praying to be. On the last Saturday of each month, we’ll begin at a shared communion table extend into a free community meal, and move from there into the worship experience.
Drama Queens
Flamy Grant & Heather Mae
March’s installment of the Gospel Project welcomes Flamy Grant and Heather Mae, two extraordinary artists whose music weaves together bold storytelling, emotional honesty, and the promise of healing.
Flamy Grant brings theatrical brilliance and gospel-rooted power to songs that name difficult truths while celebrating queer joy and spiritual reclamation. Her debut album, Bible Belt Baby, reached #1 on the iTunes Christian Music charts, sparking national conversation.
Heather Mae’s acclaimed release Glimmer drew comparisons to Adele and Sara Bareilles, showcasing her luminous voice and deeply personal songwriting. Her work creates a space of shared vulnerability, inviting listeners into stories of resilience, courage, and self-discovery.
Together, these artists bring us an evening that speaks and sings to the real places people live — faith, doubt, joy, grief, and the complicated stories we carry with religion. Beginning with our usual fellowship of shared meals and conversation, and transitioning into the soulful performances of these two incredible artists, our evening offers not just food and performance, but a shared sanctuary of song and story that comes alive in talent. This is an evening for anyone longing for belonging, truth, and hope—a shared experience where voices are lifted, stories are honored, and new possibilities emerge.

The Last Days
of Judas Iscariot
This spring, The Wayward Artist is proud to co-produce The Last Days of Judas Iscariot alongside The Larking House in a powerful theatrical collaboration that dares to put Judas on trial.
Set in a gritty corner of Purgatory, this darkly funny and deeply provocative courtroom drama reexamines the ultimate betrayal. Saints and sinners take the stand. Mother Teresa testifies. Pontius Pilate defends himself. And at the center of it all is a question that still haunts humanity: Is anyone beyond redemption?
Raw, irreverent, and unexpectedly moving, Stephen Adly Guirgis’ electrifying script crackles with humor and humanity while wrestling honestly with faith, justice, forgiveness, and the limits of divine love. This co-production celebrates bold storytelling and fearless artistic partnership between two companies committed to meaningful, risk-taking theatre.
