The Christians is an Obie Award & Outer Critics Circle Award winning play about faith in America and the trouble with changing your mind. The drama, set in a mega church, is neither an endorsement nor an indictment of organized religion in general, nor of Christianity specifically, but raises philosophical and theological questions that encourage audiences to answer for themselves. What if there is no Hell? What if we all are welcomed into Heaven by a loving God who forgives all – even humanity’s worst? Are people ready to give up the promise of eternal damnation for those whose sins they find to be unforgiveable?
To create the setting of an elaborate megachurch, Citadel’s production will employ a grid of some 90 two-foot square state of the art digital video monitors to depict the church’s expansive interior and choir. The monitors are of a level of sophistication that are normally found only in big-budget productions like Disney’s Star Wars series THE MANDALORIAN, or TV shows like AMERICAN IDOL or THE VOICE. The monitors will allow the production to achieve an epic scope not normally feasible in an intimate venue like Citadel’s 125-seat theatre.
A talk about the play will follow afterwards.
We will be seated as a group and tickets are available on the Citadel’s website (
