Faith Baptist Church
Are you looking for something fun to do with your family? Join us on Friday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at Faith Baptist Church
located at 4518 Shiptontown Road (off Hwy 8) in Denton as we present an Easter Play written by Eddie McPherson titled, “Virgil’s
First Easter”.
You will love the hilariously exaggerated characters from the popular
playwright Eddie McPherson. Holier-than-thou Ms. Tishwater (played by Rebekah Leonard) and her spoiled daughter Tisha (Ally
Floyd) are so wrapped up in appearances that they are appalled when good ol’ boy Virgil (Brandon Eason) and girlfriend
(Heather Scearce), who are new to the church scene, fumble and bumble their way through their first service.
Many side splittingly funny scenes as hayseed Virgil tries to fit in with the buttoned-up congregation. At
the heat of it all, a question: Did Jesus die only for a select number who dress the right way or use the right words? It
concludes with an Easter celebration of new life in Christ.
Refreshments will follow.
