The Hilarious Gospel Musical Comedy “Sanctified”

Sanctified is a warm, joyous, hymn-filled show that bears witness to the trials and triumphs of the African American church. The project sets out to explore the traditional world of gospel music history and how it has been twisted, turned, and constantly revolutionized by the hip-hop and R&B sound. The phenomenal success of the Mega Churches and Celebrity Bishops has forced the traditional black church to re-examine its old ways of worship. Sanctified digs deep into this conflict in hopes to exhume some insight and some unified rationale on the past and present state of gospel music and to prove that “unity” in the church and gospel music best represents all of whom “we” are and how we should celebrate in worship.
