Ordinary People/Extraordinary People is a heartfelt, family-oriented play set in 1950s North Philadelphia. Amy, a young girl captivated by Christmas, discovers a stranger in the snow outside her apartment. As suspicions give way to curiosity, the family wonders if the stranger, named J.C., is actually Jesus. While skepticism initially prevails, the family warms up to him after experiencing what seem like minor miracles. The play explores the concept of Jesus returning in humble form, prompting the characters to confront their beliefs and question the nature of miracles in everyday life.
Featuring:
Jordan Simone
Jerome Scott
London DeShields
Maureen Henighan Booker
