BONHOEFFER’S COST

What is a moral person to do in a time of savage immorality?

Bonhoeffer, a highly regarded Lutheran minister who could have kept his peace and saved his life on several occasions, instead paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.

THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF JONATHAN TOOMEY
Nov 23 - Dec 23

When a broken hearted boy loses the treasured wooden nativity set that links him to his dead father, his worried mother persuades a lonely ill-tempered woodcarver to create a replacement, and to allow her son to watch him work on it. The commission takes their relationship to unexpected places as the young client makes greater and more difficult demands of the woodcarver’s ability, and as Christmas approaches, the three struggle to come to terms with each other, their painful memories and the process of putting their unhappiness behind them.

Written By Tim Gregory and Michael Mahler

THE FOREIGNER
Feb 1 - March 18

This award-winning comedy classic is based on a devilishly clever idea, demonstrating what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they think) knows no English! The fact that he does fuels the non-stop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go ridiculously awry for the “bad guys” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant. A constant invitation to relax and laugh at the foolishness of life, the Foreigner has quickly become one of America’s favorite comedies!

Written By Larry Shue
Directed By Tim Gregory
