The Christians – A Powerful Season Finale by The Wayward Artist

What happens when faith is tested, beliefs are challenged, and a congregation is forced to choose?

In Lucas Hnath’s gripping drama The Christians, a megachurch pastor delivers a shocking sermon that shakes his church to its core. As tensions rise and loyalties are questioned, this remarkable play explores belief, doubt, and the cost of conviction.

A story that speaks to both conservative and progressive Christians, The Christians invites us to wrestle with deep divides in faith and the search for common ground. Who says red and blue can’t come together?

Join the conversation! Each performance will be followed by a live talkback with the cast and creative team.

The IUCC Chancel Choir will perform on Opening Night (Nov. 14) and Saturday, Nov. 15.
