Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to show how drama can encourage the congregation of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church to connect their story as African-Americans to the biblical story. The methods of research for this dissertation were: the author portraying biblical characters during Sunday morning worship services, the author's engaging in dramatic projects with congregation members, locating and incorporating theological and historical source material, and adapting theatrical concepts learned in undergraduate studies. It was concluded that drama can be effectively utilized to encourage African-Americans and other ethnic groups to connect their stories to the biblical stories.
