Do You Know The Jericho Story?


Jericho Productions was formed by Franklin Harris and Tom Mosher in 1999, as a volunteer-driven, 501(C)(3) non-profit theatre company.

Although the company is based on a Christian world-view, participants in our productions do not have to be Christians. We do ask our cast, crew and production team to sign a statement of support for our mission.

Artistic Director, Franklin Harris, has a Doctorate in Creative Arts Education from Rutgers University, and has over thirty years experience as an educator and director. In addition, Franklin teaches theatre at Blue Ridge Community College and is a theatre critic in Henderson County, NC.

“It is not often that you encounter such professional work on the amateur stage.  Jericho Productions have faith in my rather difficult new play and brought it to life.  It is reassuring to find the theater group willing to take on unconventional contemporary writing.  I flew in from England to see the production of A Ladder in Hopewell and I cannot imagine it being produced more imaginatively.”
