The Rocky Hock Playhouse was founded in August of 2000 by Jeff and Gloria Emmerich and has become one of America's most unique full time professional Christian theatres. The Emmerichs write and produce four to five original musicals each year.  Gloria Emmerich is the writer of King David [Sweet Psalmist of Israel], Simon Peter [Fisher of Men], Paul [Fearless Lion of God], Noah's Incredible Cruise, Heaven Came Down, Out of the Darkness, and Jacob, Prince of God. The Emmerichs hire outstanding actors from across the United States to perform in their Broadway style Christian musicals. The Rocky Hock Playhouse is a stock company theatre and is located in Washington, North Carolina.  The Emmerich Theatre Production Company’s first musical in Northeast North Carolina was Under His Wings (the Love Story of Ruth and Boaz). The Playhouse has a family theatre atmosphere and premieres musicals based on Biblical characters, themes, and stories. The Rocky Hock Playhouse features first-class live indoor musical drama. Nearly 184,000 people enjoyed performances at the Rocky Hock Playhouse when it was located in Edenton, NC.  The theatre relocated to Washington, NC in 2009.
