Beloved King is a faithfully adapted Biblical musical that happens to be gay AF. The show follows the young shepherd David as he is thrust from rural fields into the royal court. After his sudden rise to prominence, David finds himself the object of affection of both the heir to the throne, idealistic Prince Jonathan, and his father, the domineering King Saul, forcing him to re-navigate his relationship to love and power as he tries to follow the path laid out for him by a mysterious entity called God.
Beloved King is the Master’s Thesis of Harvard Divinity School Ministry Fellow and playwright, Jade Sylvan.
This is the first-ever staged reading of Beloved King, complete with all songs and a live band. The evening will be a full show and first look at this brand-new musical, as well as a fundraiser for the future of Beloved King, a wholly independent production. Ticket prices are tiered so you can pay what you want to support the project. Proceeds will go directly toward the future of Beloved King. The goal is to eventually produce a full theatrical run, so more people can experience this queer Biblical musical story. This event is the beginning!
