Resonant, Entertaining, Clever

See it if enjoy when a heavy topic is addressed in a light but poignant way - its a very relevant subject.

Don't see it if you like fluffier topics

Thought-provoking, Resonant

See it if you want to see a small, talented cast perform a play that deals with politics, religion, and gun-violence.

Don't see it if you want an uplifting show. Although they did a good job navigating relevant issues, I felt like they were preaching to the choir.

Absorbing, Entertaining, Great acting, Relevant, Short

See it if you like to see behind the scenes dynamics of a politican, his wife & staff as they deal w/ their conflicting political & personal values.

Don't see it if you expect more comedy than serious treatment of the subject matter: of gun laws, a politician's faith & how this affects his politics.

Absorbing, Relevant, Resonant, Realistic

See it if you want to see a political drama that could be ripped out of today's headlines about how religion can affect political futures.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy politically based dramas that touch on sensitive beliefs.

Clever, Great staging, Relevant, Resonant

"'Church & State,' fittingly billed as a serious comedy, hits the mark...Jason Odell Williams, the playwright, adeptly uses his play and characters to tackle weighty issues. The 75-minute drama moves through several twists, and packs in a great deal of debate and emotion in a short period of time. Mr. Williams also frequently provides unforgettable laugh-out-loud lines...The four cast members are stellar."
