Release Date: 2009-08-18
The Crowd You're in With is the fifth play by award-winning American playwright Rebecca Gilman. In it, a Fourth of July backyard barbecue is the setting for a comic, thought-provoking, ultimately disquieting exploration of the question of whether to have children. Melinda and Jasper, the hosts, are deeply divided by the issue; Tom and Karen, their landlords, decided long ago to remain childless; Windsong and her husband, Dan, are expecting a baby. As the play progresses, the motivations of these characters reveal themselves as ever more complex. Even as the characters often speak in very practical terms about their decisions, Gilman never loses sight of the mystery underlying a life-shaping decision guided by both rational thought and biological imperative, which ultimately speaks to the even larger question of free will and determinism faced by every person. The Chicago-based Gilman has won numerous awards including the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright and the Scott McPherson Award. Her play The Glory of Living was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
I Am God Almighty
Have you ever felt like laughing at God’s words of promise? If so, it is most likely an incredulous laughter. Sarah laughed when she was told, “Next year, at a time like this, you will have a son.” Abraham also laughed! To these two people, God asked, “Is anything too hard for me?” He still asks the same question today, to remind us that nothing is impossible to Him. It is not that people forget that God is able, but rather that they need to be reminded that He is God Almighty, with the power to perform miracles beyond human understanding. When we think it is too late for us to receive our miracle, when we believe that God has forgotten about us, or when we no longer feel qualified, God still works. Whatever your story, no matter how hard it is, be assured of this: God can do what He has said He will do.
