The Face Behind RAEDIANT Performing Arts
My name is Moriah Bilyeu the founder and creator of Raediant performing arts. I am a mom to two absolutely amazing little girls Kinzley Rae & Indie Mae. Happily married to my incredible husband Matthew who you will see running tech, helping design sets, stage managing, and just making everyone laugh.
Firstly, why Rae-diant? Yes i know the word is spelled radiant but when I think about being a light my mind instantly goes to my first born. My prayer for her was that she would radiate God’s joy and light…hence why her middle name is Rae. So that’s why it’s called Raediant Performing Arts.
Now a little background about me- I started theatre when I was very little. One of my first memories was being the white stag in “The lion the witch & the wardrobe.” I remember the joy I had dancing on stage and getting to perform in front of everyone. That was the moment that sparked my love for drama. Then in high school I had the honor of choreographing my first show and getting to also mentor the younger students. That’s when the lord placed a desire in my heart to direct.
What a perfect way to combine my love of acting, singing, & dancing with being the Lord’s hands and feet. I got to instill a love for drama, poor into students, and be a rock for them. My goal is and always will be to glorify the lord in all that I do and to teach the kids how to be a light for His kingdom.
Drama is a place where kids get to shine and learn to use their gifts. They also get to learn how to come together as a community/family. The bonds and memories they make will last a lifetime. So, join me in helping to love, encourage, and help your children step into the talents that God has given them.
