Theater For The Thirsty

Pine City EFC, Lighthouse

Saturday, April 12 7:00 pm

Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble will be performing the newest musical from Theater for the Thirsty... "My Name is Daniel". A lions' den... a fiery furnace... No, it's not "Survivor: the Musical." It's a new take on the story of Daniel– complete with a "Sound of Music" parody. Directed by Jeff Miller (formerly of "The Refreshment Committee"), featuring musical arrangements by Michael Pearce Donley of "Triple Espresso," and accompanied by a mysterious third cast member…

Theater for the Thirsty, a two-person theater company (Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble)specializing in entertaining, music-infused, funny, thought-provoking, soul stirring and imaginative theater. They have been creating and performing original works professionally for over twelve years.

Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble are married, a fact they happen to enjoy immensely. They have been involved in professional theater in the Twin Cities, both on camera and on stage for over twelve years. Their passion is creating and performing original works together through their theater company, Theater for the Thirsty. They portray over 100 different characters in their ten original shows–ranging from tone-deaf angels to cud-chewing cows. Every Christmas they both perform with the whole family, The Gamble Family (a 25 year tradition). They graduated from Bethel University with degrees in theater and music. They make their home in Minneapolis, MN, with their extremely cute daughters Phoenicia and Eden. Together they create music, theater, laughter and pretty tasty chicken curry.

Supporting Cast includes some fine folks they've collaborated with and continue to collaborate with. They consider them honorary members.
