‘As it is in Heaven’ presented this week and next
The theatre department will present As it is in Heaven, the final play of the 2007-08 season, on April 10-12 and April 17-19 at 7:30 p.m., and April 13 at 2 p.m. All performances take place in Wood-Mar Auditorium.
The play tells the story of an 1830s Shaker community in Pleasant Hill, Ky., that is set in its ordered ways until a newcomer, Fanny, see angels in the meadow. Soon all the young women are receiving spiritual “gifts” of songs, drawings, ideas, and giggles and completely upsetting the community. Are these gifts an honest resurgence of the original shaker celebration, or something manufactured by Fanny?
