During our theater production of Bruised But Not Broken, you will step into the lives of the Thomas sisters as they learn more about themselves and each other. Watch as they unveil pieces of themselves…the pieces that they didn't want anyone to see…the parts of themselves they were ashamed of and tried so desperately to hide.

Bruised But Not Broken is about healing when you think you were too messed up, too damaged, and too bruised to heal. This production teaches you how to get up after you have fallen. God's ability to take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it into good is manifested in every scene. Remember, bitter becomes sweet when you put it in the Master's hands.
