Richard Carey, author of the book and lyrics, and composer of the music for “ACtS”, is also the musical director for the production. The rookie of the directors, Richard has focused his efforts over the years at writing music---creating five CDs of original Christian rock music. Though “grounded” as a judge in Clark County, Ohio, and dedicated to his bride and family of six children, he has still managed to travel around Ohio, Arizona, Colorado and Montana as the front man of the “Richard Carey Project Band”, now known as “This Day.” Like many projects, “ACtS” was born during the Covid lock down days of 2020 and 2021. It was inspired, however, from the public’s reaction to his 2019 Lenten meditation, “The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Music.” Check it out on YouTube at Richard Carey Meditation. “ACtS”, based on the Book of Acts from the Bible, offers a fresh new look at the humanity of the apostles; and offers hope, for all of us, in second chances...and redemption.
