The UNCW Department of Theater will present “The Christians” on Nov. 11-14 and 18-21 in the Mainstage Theatre in the Cultural Arts Building. Tickets are available for in person performances and livestreamed performances.
The performance is described on the website as, “Twenty years ago, Pastor Paul’s church was nothing more than a modest storefront. Now he presides over a congregation of thousands, with classrooms for Sunday School, a coffee shop in the lobby, and a baptismal font as big as a swimming pool. Today should be a day of celebration. But Paul is about to preach a sermon that will shake the foundations of his church’s belief. Backed by a gospel choir, The Christians is both epic and unexpectedly intimate, an unflinching look at faith in America — and its power to unite or divide.”
