All Heaven Broke Loose (Summer 2023)
The fully-staged production of All Heaven Broke Loose featured a live cast of 18, a recorded cast of 6, and an intimate staging that brought the audience into the lives and minds of the characters. Our most heavily-researched script, All Heaven Broke Loose dives deeply into the hearts of oft-overlooked figures in the final earthly days of Jesus, and challenges us to find our own place in the story.

The Diary of Perpetua Film (July 2021)
The film adaptation of our stage musical, this movie stays faithful to the original while giving us glimpses of characters and moments we don't get to see on stage -- Perpetua's husband, the group's fellow prisoners, the adoption of Felicitas' daughter, and many more. Like the touring production, the film is produced in modern costuming that challenges our understanding of history as "bygone."
The DVDs include exclusive special features that delve into the history, the modern parallels, the goofiness of the cast and crew ... and the things we can all take away from this story.

The Prophet Project (August 2019)
Still Small's second production of The Prophet Project brought together a larger cast and more visual and technical elements, but retained the original production's commitment to the power of the living Word of God. Constructed entirely from passages from the Biblical prophets, the show combined music, dance, monologue drama, movement theatre, Greek chorus-type elements, and more in this ancient story of passion, betrayal, and ultimately redemption.
This show is available on DVD and may also be booked as an online event.
Directed and music directed by Jasmine Myers, stage managed by Amelia Smith, assistant choreographed by Anne Overholt.

Running (August 2017)

Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare (May 2017)
What does it really mean to be just? How do I show mercy without encouraging more lawlessness? And can any of us – any of us at all – be truly said to be righteous?
In one of Shakespeare’s boldest plays, the clash between human justice and Divine mercy is beautifully and disturbingly explored, through the story of a judge who is not what he seems and a woman whose simple desire to do right suddenly becomes anything but simple.
Still Small's production of Measure for Measure raised awareness and funds to combat domestic violence, in partnership with local agencies such as Safe Passage, HAWC, and Safe Havens.

How I Met Our Father (Fall 2013)
Based on multiple true stories, this play explores the poignant, hilarious, and sometimes downright odd journey that is faith. The six actors portray dozens of characters of all ages and backgrounds, from Sunday School rebels to atheist-hippie-turned-seekers – and a few pigeons too.
The script was written and developed by its original cast based on stories entrusted to us by friends, family, the cast itself, and relative strangers.
