United States of America (Press Release) April 11, 2008 --
The Common Ground Theatre (CGT) will present Awaiting Judgment© at the Bayview Baptist Church, Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Center, on April 27 at 4:00 p.m. Awaiting Judgment© depicts 20th Century theological giants, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in adjoining cells (at an undisclosed location and in an out-of-sync time period) discussing their faith journeys and the challenges that they had encountered. The two examine one another's actions and explore the decisions that led to their martyrdom. The exchange provides a prophetic, relevant and inspirational message that has resonated with audiences around the country.
Written by Rev. Art Cribbs, former pastor of Christian Fellowship Congregational Church (San Diego), Awaiting Judgment© was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King's prophetic sermon at Riverside Church in New York, April 4, 1967. The sermon challenged America to re-think its foreign policies and aggressive actions against the people of Vietnam – a message that is as poignant today as it was 40 years ago.
With the outstanding cast of Rev. Anthony Drummond (King), Craig Huisenga (Bonhoeffer), and Rhys Green (Narrator), Awaiting Judgment© is a must-see! The production is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Floyd Gaffney - father of African American theatre in San Diego, CGT’s artistic director for 36 years and UCSD professor emeritus of Theatre and Dance. Dr. Gaffney directed the cast of Awaiting Judgment© until his untimely death on July 19, 2007.
The performance of Awaiting Judgment© at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Center is made possible by Bayview’s Community Concerns Ministry whose mission is to keep the congregation aware of important political, social and economic issues and inspire the members to advocacy in support of legislation that can positively shape the well-being of our community,
Common Ground Theatre seeks to create new works by and about people of African descent that entertain, educate and connect with all ages, cultures and backgrounds.
