Official Synopsis

The Phil Mitchell Radio Hour is a one-man show that follows an evangelical radio host who is on air as the rapture occurs.

This show effectively examines the dichotomy between organized religion and faith.

The Rapture Comes Once, The Show Goes On

The Phil Mitchell Radio Hour debuted in Columbus, Ohio. But has gone on to mount performances in Georgia, North Carolina, and New York City.

The show was recognized as a 2025 ArtsATL Critic's Pick during the 2025 Atlanta Fringe Festival and went on to have a sold out run at the 2026 Asheville Fringe Festival.

The show is currently preparing for its Florida debut in Noah's hometown of Jacksonville, Florida where the show will have its first site-specific performance inside the historic San Marco Church

History of The Show

The Phil Mitchell Radio Hour was born from a grad school assignment, the southern nights of summer vacation, and an episode of the Howard Stern show from 2001.

Noah originally developed the work as a 25-minute solo exploration as a part of his graduate program's Odyssey of The Soul solo festival. Throughout the 7-month developmental process, Noah was guided by his professors: Mandy Fox, Tom Dugdale, and Kevin McClatchy who instilled vital guiding questions along his path such as...what is the live audience's role? Noah also had the amazing opportunity to workshop the show early on with actress Olwen Fouéré.

When developing the show, Noah began to experiment with the parameters of lights and sound to fully theatricalize The Rapture. Since it's initial production, the show has been expanded, revised, and retooled to include projected media all designed by Noah.

Noah has spoken about the development and inspiration of the show with numerous outlets including The Lantern, The OG Sessions Podcast, 103.3's Slumber Party, BuckeyeTV, and The Black and White Podcast.

What The Congregation Is Saying

When it's all said and done, audiences leave with a fake mustache and a newfound sense of what salvation really means.

Playwright Ben Firke described the show as "If Ari Aster directed The Righteous Gemstones"

Sebastian Cherry of Lord Cherry's Review says that the show, "Perfectly handles the often divisive subject of religion, while never condemning or condoning it"

Molly Serenduke of Theatre Night Out says "A Charismatic lead...with all the makings of a well-done fringe show"
