"The Christians is neither an indictment of Christianity nor a pious parade of religious platitudes. That makes it a potential bridge in these polarized times...to meet somewhere in the middle."
Charlotte Observer
"It was a wonderful play. It stayed with me for days as I pondered its meaning and relevance in this current climate. The performances were truly exceptional and the music was inspiring."
