Who is the Riding Lights theatre company?

Riding Lights is a national touring theatre company. Since arriving on the scene in 1977, they have consistently delivered the highest quality, thought-provoking & entertaining theatre productions - with humour always to the fore.

 While the company’s roots are in a Christian ethos, their work is open to everyone, using faith as a springboard to explore all aspects of life.  For more information see https://ridinglights.org/about-us/

 What is the production about?

Inspired – Word into Action is a whirlwind, Middle Eastern adventure through this No.1 best-selling library (aka the Bible) and out the other side into 2023!  For more about the production see https://ridinglights.org/inspired/
