The fall production is a new play about Christian Peacemaker Teams. CPT began in 1987 as an effort of Mennonites, Quakers and Brethren to explore alternatives to war. CPT sends individuals trained in methods of nonviolent intervention into areas of conflict around the world. In its short history, CPT has done violence reduction work in five of the seven continents, and has grown to include hundreds of trained corps members; ordinary people dedicated to honoring life by doing the risky work of Christian peacemaking.
Though the stories and characters in the play are fictional, they are inspired by actual events in the life of CPT. To learn more about CPT, see www.cpt.org
Whatever Kindles is directed by Melissa Friesen, associate professor of theatre and communication.
This production contains strong language.
