“Heaven Bound” was first performed on February 17, 1930, at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta. It was hailed soon after as "the first great American folk drama" by the “Theatre Guild,” and has been performed annually ever since. Big Bethel is celebrating its 162nd Anniversary. It is the oldest predominantly African American congregation in metropolitan Atlanta.
