The Parables - The Company Theatre

The Parables

NOW ON TOUR!!!

"For a second time in two months, Damian entertained our church family with his exceptional ability to make us laugh. "The Parable Man" is a collection of some of the great Biblical lessons, and he tells them cleverly
with a mixture of humor and sensitivity that shows his audience that he believes in the lessons taught by Jesus Christ. Damian's comedy is refreshing and fun, and we look forward to seeing him again."
--Gwen Michal -Blanco United Methodist Church

"A great one-man show. It's hilarious. The Parables always have a lesson for our everyday life. The show is a unique way to remind us how meaningful the parables are."

"I thoroughly enjoyed “The Parables.” I saw the performance on a Friday evening at Holy Spirit Church after a long hard work week and it was a lot of fun and a great stress reliever. The actor took each parable and presented it in a fun manner while delivering the Gospel message faithfully and relevant to the present day. I found myself looking forward to each new parable to see how it was going to be interpreted. Do yourself a favor and spend an hour with The Parable Man. The hour will fly by and you’ll find yourself in a good mood. It’s a great way to experience the Gospel."
