A View from the Underside
Tue, April 7, 7 pm, Worship & Arts Center
Al Staggs brings the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, to the stage. The audience is brought into the prison cell where Bonhoeffer awaits execution and listens to his struggles with evil, injustice, and God.
"When I watch Al Staggs as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I am confronted by the deepest moral questions of what it means to be a witness and how I am using my life." -Bill Moyers
