The Faith of David is a story of faith, family, and redemption, based on the life of King David of Bethlehem. It features several fictional characters and additional storylines while remaining as biblically, spiritually, and scripturally accurate as possible.
A poet, a warrior, a hero, and a king, David enchanted as a musician but betrayed as a lover. He excelled as a leader but failed as a father, with his own son conspiring to overthrow and kill him. David’s life bordered on the incredible, leaving one to wonder, “Could all this happen to just one man?”
The Faith of David was created by Dr. Craig Costanza (book and lyrics), Tim Murner (original score), and Rich Mutkoski (additional book and lyrics). The production has appeared at the Emerson Majestic Theatre and Calderwood Pavilion in Boston, as well as the Rita Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles, attracting local and national media coverage from The Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Chronicle (Boston), and The Early Show (New York City), to name a few.
