“This brilliantly funny yet compassionate play had a long and critically hailed Broadway run. The play explores the conflict between an established older priest and the impassioned young seminarian who challenges the validity of his well-routined regimen. “There are few more invigorating theatrical experiences than hearing the voice of a gifted writer for the first time.” —NY Times “[Playwright] Davis has a funniness that is more benign, more interwoven with elemental human weakness and strengths, more forthright than wit. Humor, in short.” —NY Magazine “…one of those very rare plays which not only entertains but also educates.” —The Hollywood Reporter Stephen Lewis plays a young outspoken Catholic Seminarian who challenges what he sees as the laxed approach and lack of spiritual guidance being offered to the congregation of an older Church Pastor played by Michael Wanzie. • Wanzie Presents’ MASS APPEAL is being directed by Frank McClain, presented in association with White Elephant Theatre Productions, inc. and will be the very first theatrical production to be presented in White Elephant’s newly refurbished/created theater housed in - as fate would have it - a former church.
