luxury sedan, a church pew, and visits to a nursing home form the comfortable
round of Ken Carpenter's daily life. And then one night, he awakens to find
that he no longer believes in God. This crisis of faith propels an ordinary
middle-aged man into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. This wickedly
funny and spiritually complex play examines the effects of one man's awakening
on himself and his family.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b>“The 39 Steps” by Patrick Barlow, Directed by Michael Mensching</b><b><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Auditions: September 2, 3, 2014<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Preview: November 6, 2014<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Show Dates: November 7, 8, 9,

the ex-wife he still loves. Daughter, Josie, has just broken her engagement to
a Harvard law student and pines for his buddy Ray, an aspiring writer with whom

coastal jungle of 1940's Mexico, is a dilapidated hotel housing despair,
desire, and redemption in this haunting and deeply moving play by one of
America's greatest playwrights. T. Lawrence Shannon is defrocked priest with a
tormented spirit, searching for sanctuary from his personal demons. Maxine is a
sensuous, earthy widow, striving to satisfy her appetite for companionship.
Charlotte is a lustful young girl looking for escape; and Hannah is a penniless
artist of heartbreaking dignity and courage, trying to save Shannon. Nanno is
the world's oldest living poet struggling to complete his final work. They all
join together in this engrossing story of dying dreams, frustrated sexuality,
and lost-souls shaped and changed by the turgid, tropical heat that surrounds
them.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b>ALSO
