OPPORTUNITIES

Summer 2027, The Cross and The Switchblade takes center stage at the historic Mark Hellinger Theatre-- home to Times Square Church. Based on David Wilkerson's best-selling memoir, this new musical dramatizes the story of a small-town Pennsylvania preacher who boldly followed God's call into the heart of one of New York City's most dangerous neighborhoods in the 1950s. What unfolds is an unforgettable journey of faith, courage, and miraculous transformation.

Production Information

For those looking to join the team, please carefully review the production commitments before applying.
The show will run three days a week, Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and
Sunday night, from June 4, 2027, through July 25, 2027. If cast, you must be
available for all shows and tech rehearsals.
Rehearsals begin August 21, 2026, and continue through the end of May 2027.
Rehearsals will be on Wednesday and Friday nights. You may not be required to
be at every rehearsal; a schedule will be sent upon the start of the rehearsal
process.
We ask that cast members be regular attendees of Times Square Church. This is more than a musical— it’s legacy and a chance to spread the gospel on a Broadway stage. Participation in this show includes spiritual check-ins with leadership at TSC.
