The Revelation Project is based on the final book of the Bible, transformed into a musical theatre format. The evening will include a full choir as well as vocal and instrumental solos. Key’s production draws from Handel’s Messiah, as well as from other hymns and other selections. MVNU’s music, art, and drama departments will all be involved throughout the evening.

Key has appeared in TV series such as "In the Heat of the Night" and "I’ll Fly Away." He is also the creator of the off-Broadway musical "Cotton Patch Gospel," based on a Clarence Jordan book and set in the contemporary South. He has received praise from The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Times and many more.

Key is the executive artist director of the acclaimed Theatrical Outfit at The Balzer Theater at Herren’s, located in downtown Atlanta, Ga. He has been performing for three decades at venues all across America. Most recently, Key directed the critically acclaimed world premiere of Thomas Ward’s Keeping Watch. His dynamic as a performing artist has been described by Creative Loafing as, "An actor with such energy that even standing still, he seems to quiver like a divining rod."
