Sacred Stages: A Church, a Theatre, and a Story

A short film that tells the unique and inspiring story of the relationship between the First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple-Chicago's oldest Christian congregation-and Silk Road Rising, a theatre company founded in response to 9/11 that showcases playwrights of Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds. A shared commitment to storytelling, racial and economic justice, and LGBT inclusion characterizes this profound partnership between a religious community and a secular theatre.
