regenerate Broadway: Irena’s Vow

Having submitted her small group curriculum to the publisher one day before deadline, yesterday the regenerate Mrs. blogged about the fat cows of Samaria (Biblical imagery can be such fun) and then headed up to Broadway with our favorite director to catch a matinee.  Pickings at the TKTS half-price booth were slim, but they ended up seeing Irena’s Vow and, judging by her report, I now have another show I can add to my “regenerate Theatre” sidebar when I get around to making it (she has a must-read blog post about it here).

This also gives us another show to produce at Ebenezers, our church’s coffeehouse on Capitol Hill.  It has a small stage with no backstage area, so we’re a bit limited in what we can do, but the Mrs. says this would work.  Thus far we’ve staged Godspell, Steel Magnolias, and my two God on Broadway musical revues.  We’ve got some ideas up our sleeves for this fall and next year, but Irena’s Vow will likely join Pippin and The Cocktail Party (the two I’m most eager to do) on the list of shows we’ll do once we’ve built more of an audience base.  At this point, we aren’t willing to attempt shows that don’t have much name recognition.
