Jeremiah Enna

Executive Director

Jeremiah Enna received his BFA in Theater from UCLA where he performed in such productions as Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, and A Chorus Line. He played “Z” in the television production “Good News/Bad News” and received the Carol Burnett Award for his work in musical theater.

 

Vibeke Muasya ( Caane Award winning film maker ) heard about Mr. Enna while she and her dance theater company were touring in Paris and called him to join their artist community. He moved to Sweden and became soloist and composer for the company. Eventually, Mr. Enna became Asst. Director for Eternia Dans Theater and eventually artistic director in 1994. His composition “Sacrifice” ( the production was based on the painting “White Crucifixion” by Marc Chagal) was sponsored by the Swedish National Board of Culture and received accolades from the French Institute.


In 1996, Jeremiah and his wife, choreographer Mona Enna, moved to Kansas City in the United States and established The Culture House, an arts organization promoting new and innovative works of art and artists from a Judeo-Christian worldview. They have established Storling Dance Theater, Change Agent ( music group and composers ensemble), The Culture House Chat Night ( lecture series together with the Francis Schaeffer Institute), and now The Culture House Arts Academy ( a premium arts education facility including ). They have produced such stage productions as “Between Earth & Sky”, “Sower”, and “The Prodigal Daughter” ( this concert done together with choreography by Steve Rooks, former soloist for the Martha Graham Dance Company). They have produced video productions “The Blue Man” and a 3-camera version of “Between Earth & Sky”.

 

They have been privileged to take artists on cultural outreach trips sharing the Gospel message together with cultural performances and often with humanitarian aid. They have taken groups into White Russia, the Czech Republic, and most recently into Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. They are looking forward to working with the World Evangelical Fellowship, directed by Johan Candelin in order to raise awareness of religious persecution around the world and help bring prayers and relief to those in bondage.
