The Christians

The San Francisco Playhouse
450 Post Street San Francisco

Lucas Hnath's drama The Christians focuses on Pastor Paul, the founding pastor of a mega-church who's suddenly hit with a crisis of faith. He feels compelled to lead his thousands-strong flock in a new and unexpected direction on its 20th anniversary -- one that directly conflicts with the former tenets of his ministry. When his motives are questioned, both his professional and personal relationships are put to the test. Backed by a live choir, The Christians is both epic and unexpectedly intimate. This provocative play now comes to San Francisco Playhouse, offering an unflinching look at faith -- of any denomination -- and its power to unite or divide.
