GreatDivorceonStage.com<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to producing theatre on stage again for the first time since venues across the country shut down in March 2020,\u201d said FPA Founder and Artistic Director Max McLean.<\/p>\n
Based on Lewis\u2019 classic novel, brilliantly drawn characters take a fantastical bus trip from hell to the outskirts of paradise. Each receives an opportunity to stay . . . or return to hell, forever divorced from heaven. The choice proves more challenging than imagined.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe play gushes with Lewis\u2019 keen wit and profound insight into the human condition,\u201d Max said. \u201cAnd this particular production employs dazzling stagecraft and a cast of Broadway veterans who mesmerize their audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Colorado Springs,\u00a0The Great Divorce\u00a0<\/em>travels to Kansas City, Irvine\/LA, Walnut Creek\/San Francisco, Mesa\/Phoenix, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Cleveland. GreatDivorceonStage.com will always have the latest information on each production.<\/p>\nChrista Scott-Reed directs Max\u2019s stage adaptation of the novel. Christa was in the original cast of the New York premiere and its first nationwide tour. The\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0called the play \u201cinfinitely thought-provoking!\u201d and it was hailed for its \u201cstriking vignettes . . . packaged into a tidy, brightly designed 90-minute show\u201d by the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0in a \u201crecommended\u201d review.\u00a0Broadway World<\/em>\u00a0called it \u201ca rare and welcomed treat!\u201d \u201cRaises questions of eternal significance with disarming ease,\u201d said\u00a0World Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_class=”inline-image” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”text-align: center;”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fpa.imgix.net\/TGD-WithQuote.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&ixlib=php-1.2.1&q=35&s=cd25805a6c94b57b907f319c614d88b3″ title_text=”TGD-WithQuote” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-18px|||||” custom_padding=”5px|||||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||on||||||” text_text_color=”#878787″ text_font_size=”13px” custom_margin=”-34px|0px||||” custom_padding=”0px|1px|2px|2px||” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all so thrilled to be coming back into the theatre. The cast is beyond excited to dig back into this buffet of juicy Lewisian characters with gusto,\u201d Christa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a long, quiet year of watching screens from sofas, folks should come out to be entertained by a plethora of fun and eclectic characters, innovative staging, bold projections, humor and pathos. Most importantly, they should prepare to be challenged by the deeply impactful Christian ideas and themes that are essential to Lewis\u2019 profound work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Great Divorce<\/em>\u00a0premiered in 2013 as part of FPA\u2019s mission of creating theatre and film from a Christian worldview to engage diverse audiences. It\u2019s the visionary generosity of our Fellowship Circle of patrons and donors that makes works like\u00a0The Great Divorce<\/em>\u00a0possible.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fpa.imgix.net\/TGD-TourSchedule.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&ixlib=php-1.2.1&q=35&s=7b2bd1e71f35564302112da9d6e9f467″ title_text=”TGD-TourSchedule” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” width=”88.9%” custom_padding=”|||0px||”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1278,"featured_media":51968,"parent":0,"menu_order":94,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
