Accurate, funny and inspiring, this conversion story concerns Pastor Jolley, the Pastor of a very small Church in Nigeria. In a contemporary Nigerian society, choked by an alarming variety of Christian denominations and beliefs, Pastor Jolley, a minister of a very small church of eight people, strongly believes he has been called and will be blessed of God, like other \u2018prominent men of God\u2019. Convinced by a con-man stranger, he purchases a copy of the Book of Mormon as the secret ingredient for the growth and expansion of his seed-like congregation. In spite of the disapproval of his scheming wife, and the fear of the Book of Mormon by the general public, he immerses himself in the study of the book; determined to do all it will take, but he ends up trapped in the conflict between becoming a big-name Pastor and true discipleship.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Characters: 5M 1TeenB, 2W (All Africans)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>About 45 mins<\/li>\n<li>Settings: The Home of Pastor Jolley, Nigeria<\/li>\n<li>Costumes: contemporary Nigerian dress<\/li>\n<li><strong>Order # 2082<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Available for performance to all groups.
