Theology & Theatre

InActing Word:

June 23 – 26, 2016

This conference will explore how theatre and theology interplay with the theme InActing Word: Theology and Theatre. Under the guidance of theologian Ivan Khovacs and Broadway Actor and thespian Bruce Kuhn, we hope to better understand how theology and theatre work together to contribute a deeper insight to "word and deed" borne of dwelling richly in the Word.
