Theater and Theology brings members of Rocky Mountain Synod congregations in and near Denver to productions of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. After viewing a play, we do a talk-back discussion with cast members on theological issues raised in the play. The plays and these discussions can challenge and stimulate our faith and, therefore, the mission of the Church, in a unique way.

Contact Rosalee Wanchisen (303-759-9836) by Sunday, January 8 to reserve a ticket and for information.

Last Night and the Night Before

Tuesday, January 29, 2019, 6:30 p.m., Ricketson Theatre, Tickets: $35

When Monique and her 10-year-old daughter Samantha show up unexpectedly on her sister’s Brooklyn doorstep, it shakes up Rachel and her partner Nadima’s orderly New York lifestyle. Monique is on the run from deep trouble and brings their family’s Southern roots with her, grabbing hold of Rachel’s life more ferociously than she could have ever imagined. Poetic, powerful and remarkably funny, this 2017 Colorado New Play Summit featured play explores the struggle between the responsibilities that are expected of us and the choices we actually end up making.

Registration with check payable to Rocky Mountain Synod and footnoted “T&T Augustana: Last Night and the Night Before” must reach Augustana’s office by Sunday, January 8, 2019.
