London Premiere Salvation Road at Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre
WHY WOULD A SMART AND TALENTED GIRL FALL FOR THE HOLLOW PROMISES OF A SLEAZY PREACHER?
Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota theatre students to stage delightfully thought-provoking drama in Salvation Road
NEW WIMBLEDON: www.atgtickets.com
In a premiere London performance at Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre, Saint Mary’s University theatre majors from Winona, Minn., will stage “Salvation Road” by D.W. Gregory, an emotion-stirring drama that will leave audiences questioning how you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.
When his hip older sister Denise disappears with members of a fundamentalist church, 17-year-old Cliff Kozak struggles to hold it all together, pretending that he isn’t hurt by her decision to cut him out of her life. But a year later, a chance sighting of Denise at a New Jersey strip mall leads Cliff and his best buddy Duffy on a road trip into the heart of a deepening mystery.
Why would a smart and talented girl like Denise fall for the hollow promises of a sleazy preacher? Could it be that blind faith is just another term for a desperate need to belong?
These theatre majors at Saint Mary’s are studying theatre in London, England, this semester through the Stefannié Valéncia Kierlin Theatre in London Program, now in its 25th year!
Dates: October 16-19, 2019 Wednesday through Saturday – 7:45 p.m
