SOAPM Meet the Cast: Aaron C. Thornton - "Christian"

Aaron C. Thornton is a member of the acting company GoKash Productions. He started acting in middle school and immediately fell in love with it. He has been in shows including Baltimo Jawja,  My Son My Brother My Friend, His Child Too, Six Degrees, and Girl He Loves me. He is best known for his role in The Nigga Files that placed 2nd in The Philadelphia Urban Theatre Festival in 2009 and his role in Ambie Dickerson that tied for 1st place in the festival in 2010. He lives by the quote “If I never existed, have I given something, that if taken away you’d miss it.”

Aaron plays "Christian" in Son of a Preacher Man. Though a well meaning friend of character "Junior," "Christian" adds to the mayhem in our lead's mind, and contributes to what is a powerful climax in the play.

Son Of A Preacher Man follows the relationship between a preacher’s son with a not so conventional lifestyle and a preacher who allows the secular to take over his spirituality.This play will make you laugh out loud, shout, cry and most of all think about the consequences of super-human expectations and ridiculous judgements.
