Theatre B - Monika Browne-Ecker
Theatre B opens An Act of God - a great holiday show on November 25th! In An Act of God, the deepest questions troubling humankind since creation will be answered at last, when we get a visit from the universe’s greatest comedian: God. After millennia of human meddling, mythology, and misinterpretation, she wants to clarify a few things. This rewrite of the Ten Commandments is no mere spoof of Bible stories, but an opportunity to ask some challenging theological questions. In typical Theatre B fashion, An Act of God invites the audience to ponder important life lessons, even while laughing out loud together.
RSVP & get ticket info via Facebook.

Thanks to all who joined us and mark your calendars for the FINAL First Fridays of 2022 - Dec. 2 at 701 Eateries.
