At the Centre for Performing Arts, we believe that the stage is sacred ground. Whether through drama, movement, or immersive performance, we equip artists to use theatre as a tool for discipleship, healing, and mission. Our work centres on helping Christians tell meaningful stories that stir the soul and point to Christ.
Theatre has always been a powerful medium for shaping culture and revealing truth. From ancient storytelling to modern-day musicals, performance allows audiences to engage not just with information but with emotion, empathy, and transformation. We help Christian performers use that power with intentionality, artistry, and faith.
ChemiChemi Players, the professional theatre company of the CUI Centre for Performing Arts, lives by the mission: “Transforming lives for Christ, one play at a time!”
Under the leadership of Dr. Julisa Rowe, we are a passionate community of theatre artists and creatives who seek to inspire, challenge, and uplift through the art of storytelling. While our foundation is firmly rooted in Christian faith, we welcome and value all creatives in a space that fosters excellence and growth.
We also partner with other organisations to use theatre as a tool of love, care, and healing in our communities. Whether in schools, churches, or social outreach programs, our work goes beyond the stage and into lives.
Held every 3rd Monday of the month, CAFe (Christian Artists’ Fellowship) is a warm, welcoming space for artists to gather for prayer, worship, honest conversations, and mutual encouragement. Whether you’re an actor, writer, director, dancer, or creative of any kind, CAFe is a time to refocus, reconnect, and be refreshed in Christ, together.
This is not a performance. It’s a place to just be. To grow in community, share your journey, and find spiritual strength among fellow believers navigating the creative industry.
At the Centre for Performing Arts, we are growing a vibrant community of Christian storytellers and performers who use theatre as a tool for transformation.
ChemiChemi Players continues to tour with powerful, faith-rooted performances that inspire, challenge, and disciple.
Playback Theatre is being used in ministry settings to foster healing, reflection, and meaningful dialogue.
Dramatized Scripture is coming alive in churches and schools, helping people engage with God’s Word in fresh ways.
Creatives are being mentored and trained to use their gifts boldly and faithfully for God’s glory.
We currently rehearse at Mayfield Ministry Centre, a welcoming space that nurtures both artistic excellence and spiritual growth. As the community expands, we are forming new partnerships and creating more accessible spaces for Christian artists to thrive.
