Could your church host a performance?
It is Well with My Soul is a 2 hour, professional musical theatre show, produced by Handiwork Productions, which aims to resource the local Church with Gospel-centred performances as evangelistic outreach events. As they leave, the audience are offered a copy of John's gospel with the words "Is it well with your soul?" on the front.

The musical features a cast of seven professional actors, original songs, and some of the classic hymns connected to the story of the people behind It is Well with My Soul. Many people are asking the question, "How can God be good when there's so much suffering in the world?" This production examines God's presence and faithfulness in the midst of tragedy in suffering through the stories it tells.
When will the musical be touring?
We're hoping to tour the musical again during the following dates:
12-21 September 2025
9-18 January 2026
20-28 February 2026

As a professional production, we have costs and wages as part of putting on, rehearsing, and touring the musical. Our budget for this is currently £1500 per performance. We ask churches who seek to host a production to partner with us in covering this, though we don't want to be prohibitive for smaller churches to be able to host. To make this more accessible, we have developed two ways to approach this:
The church agrees to cover all our costs (£1500 paid as a 'performance fee'). The church can then charge for tickets to help cover costs or make the performance a free event if desired.
OPTION 1
The church agrees to cover half our costs (£750). We then take the first £750 in ticket sales to make sure our costs are covered. All ticket income on top of this is split 50-50 with the church.
OPTION 2
With both options, a 10% deposit of the total cost (£150) is required to secure the booking. With option 2, we will handle ticket sales, usually through an online ticketing platform we've used before.

"I was not sure what to expect when we hosted 'It is Well' in Edinburgh. This musical surpassed all our expectations. It's brilliant! Cannot recommend highly enough."
