Covenant College’s fall theater season will begin with Evan Smith’s “The Savannah Disputation,” a comedy about imperfect faith in an imperfect world.
Taking place in Savannah, Ga., this one-act play tells the story of two elderly, Catholic sisters and the day their life changes when a fundamentalist door-to-door evangelist steps into their home. Following the initial meeting is a comical and thought-provoking journey of self-discovery, petty revenge and meditation on the human condition that will leave the audience’s minds churning about what they believe themselves.
Directed by Department Head Camille Hallstrom, “The Savannah Disputation” will, she says, be “a wonderful show, full of delightful farce, but it also wrestles with the nature of truth, relationships and loneliness. Likely everyone on either side of its issues will get offended by something in the show, yet the play ultimately demonstrates compassion for its characters in their various struggles in this vale of tears.”
“The Savannah Disputation” previews in Sanderson Hall Auditorium on the Covenant College campus, previewing October 1 at 8 p.m., and performances run October 2, 3 and 9 at 8 p.m. and October 10 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets will be $5 for students, staff, and seniors, and $7 for adults. Preview tickets are $3 and $5. To reserve tickets, or for more information, call the box office at (706) 419-1051 or email [email protected].
