Kate Hardcastle is looking for love, but Charles Marlow is making it hard to find. When fate draws the two of them together, Kate stoops to conquer the heart and mind of her perplexing suitor. In Oliver Goldsmith’s famous comedy, Kate and her friend Constance have to work around the expectations of polite society to each secure a husband. To make matters worse, Kate’s pesky brother, Tony Lumpkin, works some mischief of his own which results in many mistakes of the night.

THE CHRISTIANS
By Lucas Hnath
Directed by Prof. Camille Hallstrom
Gospel Choir directed by James Ward
November 18-20, 7:00 p.m. in Sanderson Theater
With his award-winning The Christians, playwright Lucas Hnath gives us "a mature... play about faith... a clever, searching and elusively profound work" (The Guardian). In it, Pastor Paul has spent 20 years successfully growing his church from a small storefront to a gleaming megachurch, but now he fears that there may be a crack in the theological foundation. As he shares his new belief in the nature of salvation, the message is met with surprise and then growing trepidation from his closest confidantes in the congregation, threatening to create a schism within the church. Hnath looks with great complexity and compassion at the relationship between belief and behavior—and his evenhanded, unbiased take on faith in modern America has been appreciated by audiences regardless of what they personally believe.
THE CHRISTIANS is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
