Zion
Theatre Company is a new organization based in Utah whose
commitment is to produce plays of a high moral caliber that resonate
with humankind's better nature. We focus on theatrical work
that makes human beings better socially, intellectually, and
spiritually. We craft our plays with an artist's care for the
aesthetics as well as the philosopher's care for
morality. Our purpose is not to take away from any
of the good that people already have, but rather to add meaning to the
light they already have in their lives.
Two plays by Mahonri Stewart now in book form
Two
plays by Mahonri Stewart, Fading Flower and Swallow the Sun, have been
published and you can now purchase them from our online store. Fading
Flower follows Emma Smith and the children of Mormon prophet Joseph
Smith as they deal with the memory and the legacy that he left behind.
As David Hyrum Smith is sent to Salt Lake as a missionary for the
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he learns
about his father's involvement with polygamy and must reconcile this
image of his father with what he has always heard from his
mother.
Swallow the Sun tells the story of a young C.S.
"Jack" Lewis, a staunch atheist who has become one of greatest
advocates and writers of Christianity. Beloved for his Chronicles
of Narnia, Lewis is helped on his way to God by his good friends,
including J.R.R. Tolkien.
