Rob Bell is a New York Times bestselling author whose work has reached a global audience through more than 25 books and original plays translated into 25 languages worldwide. Recognized as one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, he has toured internationally alongside some of the most compelling voices of our time, including Oprah Winfrey, the Dalai Lama, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
A dynamic and sought-after speaker, Bell creates experiences that transcend the traditional talk — blending humor, storytelling, and insight in ways that invite audiences into deeper aliveness. Through his books, live events, music, visual art, and his Top 10 Apple podcast, he has cultivated a devoted following drawn to his singular blend of curiosity, honesty, and creative energy.
In Lancaster, Bell is developing new work in collaboration with Prima Theatre, a nationally respected home for fresh theatrical experiences. His 2025 play We’ll Get Back To You is on a path to its New York debut in Manhattan in 2027. His next work, The Golden Springs Uprising, will premiere at Prima in 2027 — a wildly entertaining, delightfully unhinged comedy set in a senior living community where the cancellation of Jello Day sparks an all-out dessert revolt. Beneath the humor, the play explores how we face change when life gets wobbly — with heart, defiance, and a little sweetness.
