SOAPM Meet the Cast: Eric Banks as "Reverend Barnes"

Other productions include, "A Soldiers Play," "Another Bank Robbery," "If it ain't got that swing","Nursing Home," "Domestic Relations"  and "Four Sides to Every Story." His passion for acting landed him roles on the cable network, True TV. Forensic Files, as well as a commercial for Monday Night Football for ESPN.  Keep your eyes and ears open for this up and coming actor! 

The preacher man of which the title refers to, Reverend Barnes has a huge impact on his son's life. While Junior is young he wishes to be just like his father, but as he grows older, he learns some things that change his opinion of this shepherd. 

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.
