WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Faith should never be broken. Lose it, damage it, doubt it - even for an instant - and life will never be the same. Tormented by doubt, trapped between comfort and rage, is belief in a higher power stronger than the alternative? Whether it takes six minutes or six years, we all have a story that leads to the realization of confirming or denying a belief system. Even choosing not to decide at all can be interpreted as a decision. A viscerally staged exploration of faith - and its opposite - The Thin Place is a modern-day battle of wills inspired by interviews conducted by Seattle radio journalist, KUOW's Marcie Sillman. In this world premiere play, one actor embodies twelve local stories from diverse perspectives, revealing how personal circumstances shape who we are and who we may become.

The linchpin is Isaac (Gbenga Akinnagbe), a disillusioned young Pentecostal man plagued by mysterious seizures. Accompanying Isaac on his journey of faith (a device that often feels forced), we meet 10 other characters (all played by Akinnagbe) as they face their biggest tests. A woman tells of her n[...]
