Church of Why Not, The
Synopsis:
The Church of Why Not is a new play exploring a remarkable institution on the Upper West Side, The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew, where Methodists, Ethiopian Evangelicals, Conservative Jews, and LGBT Christian Latinos share space with recovery programs, tutoring, activist organizations, a homeless shelter, and a youth band, Pilates classes and a food pantry that feeds thousands. Created through Theatre 167s unique deeply collaborative system of collective authorship, the play is staged the very place that inspired it. Featuring an ensemble cast of 19 performers, The Church of Why Not tells the stories of believers and skeptics, the well-heeled and the homeless, activists and addicts. Some need food, some crave connection, and others need help with math, guitar chords, a Bar Mitzvah. At times funny, at times heartbreaking, The Church of Why Not celebrates both our spiritual diversity and our common humanity.
