The Academy of Music presents SWEET SWEET SPIRIT by Carol Carpenter
March 24 and 25 at 7:30 PM
Academy of Music Theatre, Northampton
Carol Carpenter has written a moving and relevant story that illustrates the love and forgiveness that are possible when people can agree on what’s important.
The story focuses on a conservative, evangelical family that must address some difficult topics after the father nearly beats his gay son to death. It raises issues around the complexities of faith, culture, family and community in a rapidly changing world.
Sweet, Sweet Spirit won the High Desert Play Festival in April 2012 and was also nominated for Best Reading at Planet Connections Festivity in 2011 (NYC). It was part of Acadiana Repertory Theater’s New Play series in June 2012, and was featured in Barrow Group’s 2012-2013 development series in New York City. The play was recently staged at the NYC 14th Street YMCA to sold out audiences.
Proceeds will benefit the Academy of Music Theatre and their work with LGBT youth groups.
Tickets available online or by calling 413-584-9032 x105
