About this listen

 A pointed look at organized, merchandised religion; the dangers of pride and ambition; the battes for power between generations; and the redemptive power of faith. A face off for control between a legendary Baptist pastor and an ambitious young preacher.

Performed by a full cast including Robert Pescovitz, Morgan Sheppard, and Andy Taylor.

(P)2001 L.A. Theatre Works Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts United States World Literature

Editorial reviews

L.A. Theatre Works presents David Rambo’s serio-comic take on merchandized religion. The 1999 Humana Festival of New American Plays selection casts veteran TV, screen, and stage actors Robert Pescovitz, Morgan Shepphard, and Andy Taylor, the 2010 Ovation Award nominee. Their performance of the preacher vs. preacher battle at Houston’s Rock Baptist Church entertainingly highlights a struggle of faith and ambition between Godly men acting in un-Godly ways to control a fundamentalist empire encompassing a college, dinner theater, bowling alley, eight-screen movie theater, Christian satellite network, restaurants, coffee shops, gymnasium, two swimming pools, baby care, and, of course, the pulpit.
