THE GIVER
Feb. 20 – Mar. 22
Directed by Zach Christensen
Jonas’ world is perfect. Everything is under control and safe. There is no war or fear or pain. There are also no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. But when Jonas turns 12, he is chosen for special training from The Giver—to receive and keep the memories of the community. The Giver is the only person who holds the memories of real pain and real joy. Now Jonas will learn the truth about life—and the hypocrisy of his utopian world.

JOAN OF ARC
May 1 – 31
Written & Directed by Jeremy Stanbary
Cutting through the darkness and depravity of her times, and in the face of tremendous adversity, an unknown teenage peasant girl would go on to lead armies of men, winning decisive victories both militarily and spiritually, changing the course of the Hundred Years’ War in Europe and leaving an indelible mark on the French nation, on the Church, and on human history down to our very day.
Never afraid to grapple with difficult questions, and utilizing his unique storytelling methods, Stanbary explores the heart and soul of Joan and her times, telling her story on stage like never before.

Like many a church, Open Window is a refuge from the world (and standard entertainment), while not abandoning discussions of the hard issues that get dealt with in the world…
