In REVIVAL, A Harvard educated son of a Southern Baptist preacher returns to his Arkansas hometown to rebuild his father's congregation. Under pressure to grow the congregation to compete with neighboring mega-Churches, the young Pastor seizes an opportunity to cleanse a mysterious stranger of his homosexuality, becoming an overnight evangelical superstar. But at what cost?
Samuel Brett Williams's new play is an insider's look at the making of a mega-Church machine from grassroots beginnings. REVIVAL asks just how far are you willing to go for the things you believe?
REVIVAL receives its World Premiere courtesy of Project Y Theatre, formerly based in Washington, DC, where their vibrancy and energy elicited passionate responses from the critics. Bob Mondello of NPR and The Washington City Paper called them "a consistently thrilling company" and Washington Post writer Jane Horwitz compared them to Chicago's renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Now making their home in New York City, their first NY production, FUBAR, played at Americas Off Broadway at 59E59 Theatres in 2009.
The REVIVAL cast features Trent Dawson (multiple Daytime Emmy-nominated for his role as Henry Coleman on "AS THE WORLD TURNS"), David Darrow (making his NYC premiere, fresh from an apprenticeship at Actor's Theatre of Louisville), Raymond McAnnally (original cast of GOD'S EAR at The Vineyard and with New Georges, Showtime's "NURSE JACKIE") and Aidan Sullivan (MEDEA on Broadway).
