About the Event
The Architect of Rock & Roll
Step into the spotlight with "The Architect of Rock & Roll," where Little Richard's journey from the heart of Georgia to the heights of stardom is a rollicking ride through the clash of faith and fame. With a foot-tapping soundtrack and a heart full of hope, Richard navigates the twists and turns of celebrity, grappling with the tug-of-war between his deep-rooted religious beliefs and the seductive allure of the spotlight. As he faces betrayals, temptations, and the relentless pursuit of success, Richard finds himself at a crossroads, torn between the call of the stage and the pull of the pulpit. But through it all, he discovers that true salvation lies not in the glare of the spotlight, but in the power of faith, love, and the music that moves us all. So, join us for a joyous, soul-stirring journey that celebrates the eternal struggle between the sacred and the secular, and the enduring power of rock & roll to transcend it all.
