Mike Broemmel, ’84 is proud to share his new play, The Baptism, with Denver area alumni and friends at a special ticket price of $10. Atttendees will have a chance to socialize and catchup with old friends before and after the production.
The play tells the tale of the residents of Worthington, typical small town folks -- the farming family, the widow and her circle of friends, a young woman with a new baby. Despite the seeming normality, something sinister brews beneath the surface of daily life in the tiny village. The play has a Twilight Zone feel.
The town gathers on a stormy night for the baptism of May Proctor's baby son. The audience become congregants and participate in an event they will not soon forget.
The plot of The Baptism renders its staging in an actual church the perfect setting for the truly unique, haunting and memorable production. The Baptism is a drama in three acts which makes it world premiere in the historic chapel on the grounds of Colorado Heights University (formerly Loretto Heights College). The Baptism is written by Mike Broemmel, directed by Ammon Swofford and produced by Theatrix USA and AmSwo Productions.
