Listening for Grace uses humor and insight to give voice to our fears and hopes when a faith community engages in questions around sexuality and same-sex relationships. This story comes to life, inviting audiences into one father’s journey, a church’s struggle and a search for commonality.

The play follows the story of a widowed father whose son has just come out as gay. Through his relationships with his son, an estranged cousin, people in his church and a pastor who deals with issues of sexuality in the Bible, the main character is challenged by many different viewpoints and experiences.
It’s a piece about church and fatherhood. It’s a piece about community and human sexuality. And it’s an entertaining and enlightening piece about openness and love.
Listening for Grace features Ted Schwartz, accompanied by Justin Yoder on cello and Phillip Martin on piano.
