I've been looking forward to seeing "Red Books" at the Association of Adventist Forums Conference in Santa Rosa on Sept 28. But if you live in Southern California, you have a few chances to see this play. You can visit the website and learn all about the play and see the schedule. In short, it will be at the Eagle Rock Church in Glendale tonight and tomorrow night (Sept 17 & 18), and at La Sierra University in Riverside, Oct. 5 & 6. For more info, click here.
Here's what Hollywood member Lennox Fleary had to say -
Just got back from watching "Redbooks" at the Eagle Rock church. If I didn't have a rehearsal tomorrow night at 8, I would see it again tomorrow night. Not only did I feel proud to be Adventist, I sensed something Ryan has been talking about the past few months: "the Spirit of God is at work in his people" There are conversations happening in Hollywood that are so well represented in this piece that I was actually amused at the similarity of the dialogue to our own discussions. It's not just a piece about Ellen White, although the story begins there. To me, it's about honest, open conversation that begins with questions and commitment (emphasis added).
Very nice, Lennox. I hope more of our members will see it!
Since I was sitting next to Lennox, I second that. Here's my review of the play *spoiler alert!* http://thecarioca.blogspot.com/2007/09/red-books-our-search-for-ellen-white.html
