Avow by Bill C. Davis - Acts of Faith Festival Feb 10 & 11
posted on January 8, 2007
‘Avow’ returns to the Firehouse stage Saturday and Sunday, February 10th and 11th for Richmond’s third Acts of Faith Festival.
Avow by Bill C. Davis, award winning author of Mass Appeal, which ran on Broadway and was later made into a movie starring Jack Lemmon, is the story of Tom and Brian, “salad bar” Catholics who seek the help of their parish priest to perform their marriage ceremony. Although Tom and Brian’s relationship is central to Avow, the play touches on virtually every major issue confronting the modern Catholic Church. Davis asks real questions here that will provoke skepticism, frustration and even anger in some audience members. This fearless provocation is one of the play’s great merits”.—NY Newsday.
Originally directed by Isaac Butler, Avow features: Robert Throckmorton, Irene Ziegler, Jaqueline O’Connor, Robert Albertia, John Moon, Steve Perigard, and Billy Christopher Maupin.
