Who among us hasn’t wrestled with “the body, gods, death, and change,” as Diana Small’s theatrical work does? A worker in service of stage and the spirit (Small’s day job is as a hospital chaplain), her newest script opens at the black-box theatre just above First Baptist with the Trinity St. Players. Based loosely on real-life activist Father John Dear – a Catholic priest whose arrests for nonviolent civil disobedience number in the 80s – the story follows a priest reuniting with his estranged daughter, an oncology nurse caring for an inmate undergoing treatment for Stage IV cancer. Jenny Larson-Quiñones directs, with featured actors including Lee Eddy, Buck Eddy-Blair, James Dean Jay Byrd, khattieQ, Robert Joseph, and Mitchell Thomas. – James Scott
