Church Wars by Fred Thompson
PURE Theatre will open its 24th season with the world premiere of Church Wars by Fred Thompson, directed by Sharon Graci.
When a struggling church discovers a way to save itself, everyone agrees it’s a blessing… until the selection committee gets involved. What begins as a fundraiser quickly becomes a fight over whose recipe makes the cut and whose gets left out. Which, as it turns out, is the same thing as fighting over everything else.
From the creator of PURE audience favorite Atwater comes a mockumentary comedy in the tradition of Christopher Guest, where the stakes are absurd, the people are sincere, and nobody is nearly as reasonable as they think they are. Church Wars is a play about faith, family, and the surprisingly dangerous question of whose recipe gets printed first.
Performances Aug. 27-29 and Sept. 2-5 & 10-12.
