Early beginnings
Although NarroWay Productions was incorporated in the state of South Carolina on September 17, 1996, the NarroWay story begins much earlier than that! The road to becoming one of the most unique attractions in the southeast was not traveled in a single day. Founders K. Rebecca Martin and Yvonne "Birdie" Clark have been working together for over 35 years. In the early 1980's they began to refer to their original, Broadway-style collaborations as "A NarroWay Production."
Martin and Clark began working as a music / drama team while attending Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Soon after graduation they were hired as a church staff team.
While en route to Paducah, Kentucky to record a new musical, Rebecca's thoughts were interrupted by what she calls a, "strong, spiritual voice," that clearly said, "You are to call the company, 'NarroWay Productions.'" Taken back Rebecca said, "Birdie, I think the Lord just spoke to me." Not sure if Rebecca was kidding, Birdie responded, "What did He say?" "He said, 'You are to call the company NarroWay Productions.'" To which, Birdie replied, "What company???"
From that point, even though there was no physical company, Martin and Clark began to call their works, "a NarroWay Production."
In 1987, Rebecca felt an urge to physically secure the name, so she contacted an attorney to incorporate. When the attorney asked what the company was to do, she replied, "I don't know. I just know we are supposed to call the company, 'NarroWay Productions.'"
In the spring of 1996, Teresa Brown, Rebecca's sister and close friend of the team, called them from her home in Charlotte, NC. She told them how the Lord had brought an old, deserted amphitheatre to her mind. The amphitheatre was located nearby in Fort Mill, SC and she felt it would be the perfect place for a Christian theatre.
That call was the first step in a long journey of faith.
After journeying to see the location and with much prayer, conviction, fear and trembling, Rebecca and Birdie negotiated a lease on the property, resigned their church staff positions and stepped out with nothing but faith and called the company NarroWay Productions.
