Role(s): Principal Marshall & Mr. Charles

Castle Crenshaw, a.k.a. Ghost, has been running his entire life, but for all the wrong reasons. Then one day he meets Coach, an Olympic medalist who sees his unique raw talent.

“Cameron Mitchell (Sunny/Brandon), Chip Arnold (Mr. Charles/Principal Marshall), Tamiko Robinson Steele (Mrs. Hollow, Terri/Tia), Jordan White (Lu) and Nikkita Staggs (Patina/Monique/Shamika) round out the amazingly talented cast. NCT’s Ghost is a powerful story of hope in the face of adversity, and it’s a big success for The NCT Hatchery’s first effort.” 

Chad Young
Nashville Parent Magazine

“Ghost is Poignant, Urgent, and Tons of Fun.”

“…Chip Arnold completes the cast as Mr. Charles, a local shopkeeper, who provides refuge for Ghost and Terri on that night they fled their home in search of safety. As expected, Arnold’s stage presence ensures that Mr. Charles is presented as a real person rather than some dramatic archetype there to provide a service to move the plot along.

Sacred Pace

Amazon
Written by: Terry Looper
Published: February 2019
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

How do we hear from God and discern his will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that – a process he has learned and refined over 30 years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multibillion-dollar company.

At just 36 years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all – until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn.

Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to:

  • Slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
  • Sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord
  • Gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are his way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts
  • Grow closer to the one who loves them most and knows them best

This audiobook is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks listeners through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

Henry O. Arnold as Matthew Harrison Brady.
2010-PRESENT / Theatre Actor

Inherit the Wind

Nashville Repertory Theatre
Directed by Rene Copeland
Role: Matthew Harrison Brady
 “Inspired by the sensational Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee, this thrilling courtroom drama centers on the prosecution of a teacher who read about Darwin’s The Origin of Species to his science class from their biology book. The attention-grabbing trial becomes a boxing match for the two greatest legal giants of the century. The great storytelling of this classic is enhanced by its ties to actual historical characters, and this riveting drama rings with relevance to our culture’s struggle with the relationship between belief and science that continues to this day.”

 

“Rene Copeland has assembled an exceptional cast, starting with Henry O. Arnold as prosecutor Matthew Harrison Brady and Brian Webb Russell as Henry Drummond. Watching these two seasoned pros thunder away at each other is a rare treat that shouldn’t be missed.”

Amy Stumpfl
Nashville Tennessean/USA Today

“Rene Copeland’s casting ability has never felt more on-target than with Henry O. Arnold and Brain Webb Russell, two of the finest leading men to be found on any stage. Watching Arnold and Russell spar in the courtroom is assuredly thrilling.” 

Jeffery Ellis
Broadway World

“Rene Copeland directs two of Music City’s most reliable veteran performers, Henry O. Arnold and Brian Webb Russell.”

Martin Brady
Nashville Scene

 “Arnold is perfectly strident as Matthew Harrison Brady, delivering his lines with confidence and great vigor while subtly portraying the character’s frailties and own remarkable misgivings, even while never displaying one iota of diffidence.”

Jeffery Ellis
Broadway World

“You MUST go see this show! I wish every high school theatre student in Tennessee could attend this show so they could see, up close, what superb acting looks like watching Chip Arnold, Matthew Carlton, Brian Russell, and Samuel Whited.”

This Dangerous Book

Amazon
Written by Steve Green and Jackie Green
Published: November 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

 

It is the top selling book in history. It brings social upheaval, international arguments, and political controversy. It has been used to justify both love and war. And for generations, it has found its way into the hearts of millions, offering comfort, direction, and life-changing truths.

How could one book have such power? In This Dangerous Book, Steve and Jackie Green explore the incredible history and impact of the Bible. As the founders and visionaries of the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C., the Greens have a unique perspective on the Bible’s journey—from its ancient beginnings, to its effect on the moral fiber of nations, to its transformative influence in individual hearts.

The Greens share the challenges they have faced in acquiring biblical artifacts from around the world and why generations—in every time period and in every geographical location—have risked their lives to preserve this precious book.

Exploring ancient tablets, medieval commentaries, and modern translations, This Dangerous Book offers fascinating insight into the miracles and martyrdoms that have led to the Scriptures we read today. The Greens explore how cutting-edge technology gives new insight into the authenticity of the Bible, including the work of fifty scholars who recently uncovered hidden details about thirteen unpublished Dead Sea Scroll fragments. This Dangerous Book also looks at the link between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, what we can learn from how the Bible was passed down to us, and why God’s Word is foundational to America’s past and crucial for its future.

The Bible is a world-changer and a heart-changer. Whether you have read the Bible for years or are simply curious about its influence, This Dangerous Book could change your heart as well.
