As It Is in Heaven

By Arlene Hutton
Directed by Eric Harrell
October 6-8 & 13-15, 2023
Dede Robertson Theatre

Fanny’s arrival disrupts the routine of life and worship among the 1830s Shaker society in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. When she starts seeing angels, and the other young women follow suit with similar spiritual experiences, her motives and honesty are questioned. The leaders are forced to grapple with the authenticity of these gifts, and what it means if they haven’t received them too. Heavenly hymns accompany earthly chores in this compelling drama.

As It Is in Heaven is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

Can the pageant be saved? Don’t miss this gut-busting Christmas comedy!

The Radium Dial company hires women like Catherine in the 1920s and 30s to paint watch faces with glow-in-the-dark paint. As they dip their brushes into the paint, little do they know they are poisoning themselves. Strange symptoms begin to appear, but the company denies the radium’s danger. Catherine and friends struggle to find adequate medical treatment and a lawyer willing to take on their case. Their friendship, courage, and perseverance inspire us to find grace for our own battles.
