Our Town

"Studio Tenn’s first production…was first-rate, not least of all because of the uniformly fine contributions of familiar Music City thespians such as Chip Arnold Stage Manager, Matthew Carlton Dr. Gibbs, Nan Gurley Mrs. Gibbs, and others…"

The Acoustic Tour

"…Arnold’s riveting 45-minute presentation of the Gospel was captivating as he dramatized the Gospel story changing his voice and demeanor as he segued between roles as Jesus, his disciples, his detractors and those among the curious throng. A painfully realistic, prop-free portrayal of Christ’s crucifixion, followed by a majestic ascension, concluded the drama."

A Christmas Carol

Nightingale Theatre Directed by Paula Flautt Role: Ebenezer Scrooge "Bespectacled and dressed for most of the play in a long, white nightshirt and cap neither of which hide his wonderful facial gestures, Chip Arnold gives us a gentle, fur-lined Scrooge. He emphasizes his character’s childishness, investing Scrooge with such youthful qualities as liveliness and spunk." Caroline Bartholomew The Nashville Banner

The Word Made Flesh Trilogy

Multiple National Tours of his three one-man shows: The Light of the World: The story of Jesus Christ The Voice of the Lion: The story of the apostle Paul The Singer of Israel: The story of King David   "Chip Arnold is, above all, a communicator of truth. The words of the Holy Scripture seem to leap off the page with all the intensity, humanity, and humor of each Biblical writer. Now with the contemporary film version of THE WORD MADE FLESH TRILOGY, one can both learn and be brilliantly entertained by each performance." Ronn Huff Music Arranger and Conductor "Chip Arnold has a way with the characters he portrays. His acting talent alone explains how you think you have been right there with David, Paul, or Jesus. But it is also his personal faith and his perceptiveness that makes these stories from the Scriptures and the lives of the characters speak so eloquently with rich new meaning. He makes the Bible come alive with THE WORD MADE FLESH TRILOGY." Bob Benson Author and Speaker "There are absolutely no words to describe Chip Arnold’s presentations from the Bible. Never before have I experienced the Word of God come alive in such a fresh way.  It’s life changing. THE WORD MADE FLESH TRILOGY is a must see for everyone." Michael W. Smith Music Artist
