Benefit Reading of Charles Smith's "The Gospel According to James".

They survived history. But whose history?
In 1930, James Cameron and Mary Ball emerged as the sole survivors of racial crimes in Marion, Indiana. Teenagers when the crimes occurred, they look back on those events and their lives in this World Premiere work commissioned by the Indiana Repertory Theatre. As their past and present lives intermingle, Cameron and Ball discover that their remembrances of that day differ even if their experiences were the same – challenging us all to wrestle with the tensions between memory, history and redemption.
We are excited to welcome back most of the cast from out critically acclaimed 2013 production!!
