Grace
By Craig Wright
Directed by Terry Hempleman
FEBRUARY 3 - MARCH 5, 2017
A wide-eyed young Minnesota couple have just begun a new life in sunny, promise-filled Florida with big plans to open a chain of motels. As the real estate deal threatens to unravel Steve acquires an itch he can’t scratch and Sara is drawn to an unlikely new friend. Destinies collide in this darkly comic, eerily tragic and timely play that plunges headfirst into questions of faith and grace. "GRACE brings refreshing complexity to what is fast becoming the most urgent philosophical issue of our time."—LA Times
Cast: Terry Hempleman*, Kurt Kwan*, Mary Fox & Jason Peterson
