A big-little play about faith in America – and the trouble with changing your mind.
Pastor Paul has spent 20 years growing his church from a small storefront to a gleaming megachurch, but on this day of celebration he will deliver a new message that will shake the foundation of everything he has built. Lucas Hnath’s play looks with great complexity and compassion at the relationship between belief and behavior. The Christians, a play with full live choir, compels a conversation about faith in America, its power to unite or divide, and the moments that change our hearts.
Presented as a part of Landmark’s Workshop Series in a staged reading format with a full church choir.
