Photo Flash: Beck Center for the Arts presents A GREAT WILDERNESS
By: A.A. Cristi Mar. 03, 2017
Beck Center for the Arts proudly presents the regional premiere of A Great Wilderness March 3 through April 9, 2017 in the intimate Studio Theater. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Written by 2014 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Samuel D. Hunter, A Great Wilderness begins with Walt as he prepares for a reluctant retirement.
After decades as the gentle-natured leader of a Christian retreat that endeavors to "cure" gay teens, Walt is packing up his life when Daniel arrives. Soon after, Daniel disappears into the Idaho wilderness, leading to a truly explosive turn of events. With profound humanity, this play navigates complex moral terrain, and explores the inconstant strength of our personal convictions. Strong content.
