Centre Stage New Play Festival To Featire FAITH Tongiht 10/20
Next up at the 2010 New Play Festival this evening, Wednesday, October 20th: Faith by James McLindon. Festival admission is free and open to the public. Tonight's reading will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be followed by an in-depth discussion of the work (audience feedback is encouraged after each reading), led by festival chairman, Dr. Brian Haimbach and playwright-in-residence, Deborah Brevoort.
Faith follows a young boy by the name of Simon and all Simon wants for Christmas is the stigmata and to be God's prophet, and if prayer and sacrifice have anything to do with it, Simon is well on his way. His mother Theresa prefers that he go to the mall and let Walmart tell him what he wants for Christmas. Doing what he is told by his mother, Simon visits the mall, or rather he visits a parking lot at the local Walmart as it is the closest approximation to a desert that he can find in his snow-swept hometown. And it came to pass, that there in the parking lot, Simon beheld the Harbinger, a visitor to him from the heavens and, no doubt, God's emissary to him and earth. His prayers have been answered. Or have they?
Please note, Faith is for mature audiences only.
Faith is directed by Anne Kelly Tromsness, and its cast includes JeanE Bartlett, Samuel Farnsworth, Elizabeth Finley, Beth Munson and Neil Shurley.
In the past two years, James McLindon has had twenty-one plays produced in theaters across America and the United Kingdom, eight of them world premieres. His latest play, Comes a Faery, was developed and performed at this summer's O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. He is currently in residence at CAP21 in New York developing his play, Salvation, which will be produced at Hudson Stage Company this fall.
