Martin. Adapted from a German comedy by Carl Sternheim, Steve Martin

and egos collide in the age of mass-market religion at Houston's Rock
Baptist Church otherwise known as The Baptist Super Bowl. In an
entertaining and rousing evening of theatre we witness the changing of
the guard between old and new as a retiring pastor of the flock
prepares to usher in a new leader for his empire only to discover
there is more than enough spirit in all of their spirituality. The

Make Your Mark at
Wayside |
| When you visit the Curtain Call at
intermission or after the play, be sure to take notice of the beautiful renovated antique
theatre chair on display. Or, as you sit down to enjoy the play, you may notice the
seat in front of you marked with a brass plaque proclaiming the seat as a "Gift
of..." or "In Honor of..." a certain person. These "Endowed
Chairs" are the restored 1927 theatre seats, stripped of decades of paint and now
gleaming with natural wood, plush velvet and gilt, made possible by the donations of those
individuals so named on the back of each seat. If you wish to endow a chair, a donation of $250 will make you a
"permanent fixture" at Wayside Theatre. |
