IRT Presents World Premiere of THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JAMES, 3/22
Indiana Repertory Theatre will present the world premiere of Charles Smith's THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JAMES March 22, 2011 - April 10, 2011.
They survived history. But whose history?
In 1930, James Cameron and Mary Ball emerged as the sole survivors of racial crimes in Marion, Indiana. Teenagers when the crimes occurred, they look back on those events and their lives in this World Premiere work commissioned by the IRT. As their past and present lives intermingle, Cameron and Ball discover that their remembrances of that day differ even if their experiences were the same - challenging us all to wrestle with the tensions between memory, history and redemption.
Charles Smith is a member of the Playwrights Ensemble at the Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago, alumni playwright of the Tony Award-winning New Dramatists in New York, and recipient of the 2008 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award.
