WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A Harvard educated son of a Southern Baptist preacher returns to his Arkansas hometown to rebuild his father's congregation. Under pressure to grow the congregation to compete with neighboring mega-Churches, the young Pastor seizes an opportunity to cleanse a mysterious stranger of his homosexuality, becoming an overnight evangelical superstar. But at what cost?
Samuel Brett Williams's new play is an insider's look at the making of a mega-Church machine from grassroots beginnings. The Revival asks just how far are you willing to go for the things you believe? Michole Biancosino directs.

It's amazing how the last ten minutes of a play can completely ruin the effectiveness of the overall work. But that's exactly what happens in Samuel Brett Williams' new drama The Revival, being presented at Theatre Row under Michole Biancosino' direction, which fails to live up to the promise of its premise.
The play revolves around Eli (Trent Dawson), a Harvard-educated preacher who has returned to Arkansas to take over what used to be his father's church. However, the congregation often finds Eli's sermons too abstract and intellectual, and attendance numbers are dwindling.
Trevor (Raymond McAnally), the church's financial administrator, has invited representatives from the Southern Bap[...]
