The god Monologues – a theatre workshop

Trinity Arts and Mustard Seed Productions, in association with Faith and Arts Ottawa present the god Monologues.  A dynamic and engaging workshop led by the cast of Momma’s Boy.  The god Monologues is a theatre process designed to build community and to explore questions of faith and belief.  The source material: our choices from, and our own responses to, a series of interviews conducted by Reverend Dr. Tom Sherwood with young adults about their faith experience.  The format: a theatre framework which supports our active exploration of our own beliefs. The experience is one of listening and speaking. Our focus is on personal spiritual growth, without judging the experience of others.    

Background: The Rev. Dr. Tom Sherwood, formerly the Ecumenical Chaplain at Carleton University and still a professor there, has spent the past three years investigating the spiritual lives of young adults who have rejected the religious institutions of their parents and grandparents.  He has gathered about 400 first person statements from young men and women of differing religious, ethnic, economic and geographical backgrounds.  Taken together they paint a fascinating picture of the diverse and creative spiritual lives of young adult Canadians today. 

Date, Time and Venue:  Wednesday October 16th  6 – 9pm  Trinity United Church, North Bay

Tickets:  $10 – Free with a ticket from Momma’s Boy.  Dinner included
