 Alan
is a child of God. He was redeemed into fellowship with Him by the
precious blood of Jesus Christ. He has made a life-long commitment
to put on the fullness of Christ, so that he can honor the God he
loves and help other people come into a relationship with Him. In 1974, just after starting college, God gave Alan a vision to use the art of theatre to the glory of God. Mr Atwood received a BFA in Theatre from UW-Milwaukee and then went on to the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco to complete his training. He was a co-founder of Acacia Theatre Company, a Christian Theatre Company in Milwaukee, WI. He served as the Artistic Director of Acacia for nine years. He currently serves as Pastor of Drama at Eastbrook Church. Eastbrook is a sister church to Elmbrook Church which was started and pastored for many years by Jill and Stuart Briscoe. At Eastbrook, Alan writes and produces full-length plays for the community as well as shorter dramas for worship services. He has authored a book of sketches for worship that he makes available to churches. He also tours several one-man plays around the country to churches, conferences, Christian schools and camps. Mr. Atwood has four children ranging in age from twenty to eleven and has been married to his wife Mary Ellen for twenty-six years. He lives with his family in Brookfield, WI, a suburb of Milwaukee.  WORLD VISION ASSOCIATE Alan is in partnership with World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. After each of his performances he provides his audience with an opportunity to meet the needs of widows and orphans around the world.
