After each performance, we engage the cast in a moderated talk-back on theological issues in the play. The performances are on a Tuesday evening during the 10 month theatrical season (with the exception of A Christmas Carol which is a Saturday matinee).
Theater and Theology (T&T), an educational offering that Rocky Mountain Synod congregations of the front range have been enjoying for the past 18 years.
T&T goers can see as many, or as few, of the season’s 10 plays as they wish. Some select just a couple; other congregations haven’t missed any performances in all these years! We have had nights with more than 150 attendees and as few as 25 There is no minimum number to tickets each congregation needs to order to get the group rate.
Children
Although most performances do not admit children under six years of age, some plays may be suitable for families with children. Older children may enjoy many of the other plays, although some plays may deal with themes more likely to be enjoyed by adult audiences. Consult the play descriptions for more information.
