Seasonal shows (Easter & Christmas) are limited to 250 attendees per show. For shows with more than 250 attendees we recommend booking additional sessions and splitting up the attendees as our shows include interactive stories and activities which are more immersive in smaller groups.

All other shows vary on the attendee limit depending on the show. Some shows are more effective in a classroom setting with fewer attendees as they are designed for a class sized audience. Other shows can be delivered to a specific year level or a wider audience.

Please note that the room or setting must be able to safely facilitate all attendees as per the directives set by governing authorities. If you are unsure about your situation feel free to contact us.

Seasonal presentations such as Easter and Christmas include the retelling of the biblical story of Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection.

Other sessions do not have any explicit Christian content however the content reflects Christian values. If you would like explicit Christian content included in the session, we can accommodate for that. Please contact us for further discussion.

Our show schedule follows the school term dates. Considerations are given to requests on dates outside the school term. Please contact us and for a chat for more information around dates.

All Life Matters shows take 60 minutes to setup. We will need access to the building or room where the show takes place 60 minutes before the start time. It takes approximately 30 mins to pack down.

A Hope Downloaded show takes 1h 30mins to set up which includes unpacking our trailer of equipment and setting up the speakers, instruments, and projector. This also includes a sound check and rehearsal. Pack down takes approximately 1 hour.

We are flexible with the room we can present in as long as it has access to power and can safely accomodate all attendees. For smaller groups we recommend a classroom setting, for larger groups we recommend a gym, hall, or PAC.

None! We bring our own equipment including speakers and microphones. Depending on the show we will also bring props and equipment for games and activities.

For Hope Downloaded shows, the band bring their own instruments and epuipment including speakers, a sub woofer, and a projector + screen.
