return to Ascension chapel IN
Gaithersburg to present Chris
TOPPER Fry's play, "The Boy
with a Cart" this Sunday eve
ming at 8 o'clock.
Although English drama was
born before the altar of the
church, theatrical ventures have,
for many years, been secular.
The long separation between the
church and the stage is being
brought to an end by the
Bishops Company, the first rep
ertory company to reunite the
forces of religion and the
theater. The troupe has travelled
more than 100000 miles in all of
the states and in Canada in the
past six years, taking vacation
only one week each year.
J The dedication of the actors
is attested to by the fact that
their appearance at Ascension
Chapel is on a non-profit basis
for the troupe as well as for
the chapel. While there will be
no admission charge, there will
be an offering taken to defray
the costs of the companys visit.
"The Boy with a Cart" depicts
the story of a shepherd lad
whose misfortunes lead to a
growth in experience and faith,
eliminating in his building of a
church dedicated to God.
