Based on the Book of Esther, STARQUEEN follows the story of Esther and Mordecai, and King Xerxes in the ancient Persian empire, only this ain’t your mama’s Bible story play! Father-son duo Tommy and John thomas [sic] Oaks romp through multiple characters and musical styles in an all-out knee-slapping spectacle that will take you for a ride.
Join us in the Worship Center at 6:30pm on October 21 for an incredible night of fun, music, laughs, and story. All ages are welcome to attend, dessert will be provided, and no ticket purchase necessary.
A love offering will be taken following the performance.

Here’s what people are saying…
“Of the…new musicals that I have listened to…STAR QUEEN is far and away the most developed and mature work I have encountered…Oaks is destined to become a major force in American musical theater.”
—Ian Alterman, West Side Beat, Volume 4, Issue 4
“Why shouldn’t we have Theater Rookies of the Year, too?…Of the musical theater writers, I especially enjoyed John thomas Oaks’s STAR QUEEN…”
—Peter Filichia, Penultimate issue of TheaterWeek Magazine
“The songs are diverting and not unmusical, with some clever jokes in the lyrics. The recording is well produced…”
—Show Music Magazine, Volume 13, Number 1
“Oaks’ STAR QUEEN is about as good as a biblically-based pop opera can be (and that’s not meant as the back-handed compliment it sounds like). The music is pretty spectacular. Oaks’ music and lyrics deserve the star-studded treatment of the big city production deal he’s trying to ink in New York.”
—Metro Pulse, Knoxville, TN
