When Delilah Rashell Williams wrote the gospel musical 'God's Trying To Tell You Something' in 1985, she had no idea that it would one day go on to perform in close to 40 states, for more than 1.5 million people at some of the best theaters in America.
Drisdom called the play "timely" because of the historical content and uplifting messages it provides.
Williams was a member of another congregation, the Greater Friendly Temple Church of God in Christ. But she said all congregations in Anchorage supported each other, regardless of denomination — a theme of religious community Delilah would go on to capture in her play. "God opened a door for us," Williams said. Her cast toured for around three years before she took a break to write four other plays. Then, by popular demand, and with financial donations to fund the show, Williams got it back on the road.
