Stranger at the Table
A Musical About Communion
book and lyrics by Cynthia and Michael Marion
music by Michael Marion

What happens when you mix a complacent church lacking community,
mission and ministry with a transient looking for his next meal? First there's
resistance when he interrupts their predictable worship. Then there's a
gradual awakening as they experience his infectious passion for the
Christian faith. In a surprise ending echoing the Emmaus road story, the
Stranger vanishes. The awestruck congregation realizes that have received a
holy Visitor.  Musical numbers include:
