The Christians
by Lucas Hnath
directed by Michael DeWhatley
First Baptist Church Sanctuary, 901 Trinity St. ATX 78701
Sunday, May 1st at 11am and 6pm
Twenty years ago, Pastor Paul’s church was nothing more than a modest storefront. Now he presides over a congregation of thousands. Today should be a day of celebration. But Paul is about to preach a sermon that will shake the foundations of his church’s belief, and his own. A big-little play about faith in America—and the trouble with changing your mind. The Christians is written by Obie Award-winning and Tony Award-nominated playwright Lucas Hnath, whose other plays include A Doll’s House, Part 2, Dana H., Hillary and Clinton, Red Speedo, Isaac’s Eye, and Death Tax.

All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 relives a poignant moment in history when Allied and German forces laid down their arms to celebrate the Christmas holiday together in WW1. The dramatic, historical production presents traditional patriotic and holiday songs of 1914 from both sides of the Western front and is interspersed with text read from letters, journals, and interviews from the soldiers who lived it. This production is not glorifying war…it shows the power of peace!
