Two men: a youth minister and a drifter.

Two trains: both departing from the same place, for the same place, at the exact same time.

A seemingly benign conversation between two strangers develops increasingly dubious as the true intentions of the wayward vagabond are revealed.

This dark poignant drama takes a hard look at faith, evil, and the classic conflict of Man versus God.

A MYSTERIOUS WAY plays the following schedule through Sunday, June 21:

Thursday at 8pm
Friday at 8pm
Saturday at 8pm
Sunday at 2pm

Ticket price is FREE! The cost of your metro card will get you into the show. To reserve a place on a blanket, visit www.firebonetheatre.com. Additionally, due to the ever changing nature of the MTA visit the website to confirm the exact location of the show on the date you intend to attend.

Running time: 40 minutes

A Mysterious Way was originally produced by Second Thought Theatre as part of Water Tower Theatre's Annual Out of the Loop Festival.
