SYNOPSIS
From the African Copperbelt to the backwoods of Canada, acts of faith follows Faith, a young woman who is mistaken for a prophet.

Following a sold-out run in Denver and nominated for “Best Play” by the Colorado Theatre Guild, acts of faith reunites Local Theater Company’s Co-Artistic Directors Betty Hart (as Faith) and Pesha Rudnick (Director).

Land Acknowledgement
Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world that contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some of the people from the history of this spot were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth.
Local Theater Company acknowledges, with deep respect, that we are located on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations and Peoples. We pay respect to their elders both past and present. We ask that you consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration and settlement that bring us here today.
