Abstract

There had always been a close relationship between religions and drama. The early

drama was used as part of the religious rituals. Since the Middle Age, drama has become as one of the ways for evangelizing. In the early development period of Taiwan, churches did not just provide the resources for medication and education; it also became a supportive force for the artistic development, alongside with the government. Christians with a passion for their faith formed gospel theatres to share the gospel. Among those groups, the role of faith for some is just a way to cultivate their members, for some it is the core value of the organizations. This research is aimed to analyze the gospel theatres through the literature review of the development of religious drama in Taiwan, the interviews with members of the current gospel theatres to understand their managements. Also base on the interviews, this thesis will provide a definition for gospel theatre and gospel drama.

This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is the literature review. The second part studies the different management of each case. After analysis these cases by theatre management and Mintzbergs theories, the third part also provides some suggestions for these theatres.

In this research, I has discovered that because the gospel theatres main purpose is to share the gospel with their faith; it makes them different from general theatres.A gospel theater operates in a mission organization mode: 1. a special spiritual, evangelistic devotion or fellowship tem will cultivate the members faith and keep the organization in the same purpose; 2. for the productions and marketing strategies, because of their religion, the gospel theatres often face the limitations in performing locations and forms, which may cause isolation or compromise with the society; 3. the gospel theatres members reduce their conflict through value sharing, therefore, the leaders attitude on faith will affect the performance of the team.

Because gospel theatres stand between faith and arts, each theatre has a different viewpoint of what a gospel theatre should be, as some have a tendency toward faith-oriented, and the others are more arts-oriented. In this thesis, I attempts to define gospel theatre in four major areas, and believes these differences help bring varieties to arts and Christian evangelism. Furthermore, some suggestions for the gospel theatres and churches are raised for their future development and cooperation.

Key words: gospel theatres; theatres management; religious drama; Missionary Organization.
