Church & State by Jason Odell Williams
Stage West Theatre
DIRECTOR
Three days before his bid for re-election - in the wake of another school shooting - a U.S. Senator has a life-altering crisis of faith, triggering an off-the-cuff comment which sends the entire campaign into a tailspin. His wife and campaign manager try to contain the damage, but in a country where religion influences politics and politics have become a religion, how do you reach the people and stay true to yourself? A timely and fast-paced story that is simultaneously funny, heartbreaking, and uplifting.
A moment with CHURCH & STATE Director Jenna Burnett about not making assumptions
“Director Jenna Burnett gives Church & State a screwball-comedy pace, but never undercuts the importance of the issues.” – Jan Farrington, ONSTAGE NTX
