The Road to Mecca

January 13, 2016 @ 7:00 PM

$10

 

Sierra Stages and the Miners Foundry will present The Road to Mecca on Wednesday, January 13, 2016.  The Road to Mecca, written by Athol Fugard and directed by Sandra Rockman, is the next installment of Theater By the Book, a series of informal play readings for the community.

The Road to Mecca tells the story of an eccentric elderly artist facing  mounting pressure to abandon her independent life for a church retirement home.  Out of desperation, she calls upon her only confidant, a fiery young teacher from Cape Town.  When the village minister arrives to coax out her decision, the three enter a blazing showdown that pits conformity against free expression… faith in community against faith in oneself.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the performance begins at 7:30 p.m.  Tickets are a $10 suggested donation, and are available online, in person or by phone at the Miners Foundry, or at the door.
