Private Pain In Public Pews Part 2 @ The City Playhouse Theatre, Vaughan, ON - Fri Apr 6th & Sat Apr 7th!

Dr. Spencer's riveting stage play Private Pain In Public Pews Part II, Prayer Still Works" returns with a heart thumping performance.

"Some disappointments are hard to put behind you when the truth is swimming to the top for air"

After Minister Terry is humbled by a fall of infidelity, the Church has accepted him back. The Bishop has great plans for Minister Terry's future. Yet, there is something looming from Terry's past that may plunge him back to a brick wall.

Part 1 concludes with Tia taking a trip to the doctor where she is confronted with unexpected news. Tia has a secret. Will she tell Terry? Will the church receive her back?

Samantha has overcome a past of abuse but as she befriends a new member of the church, she sees certain signs that are all too familiar. Will Samantha regress to where she's coming from? Can she handle the pain?

Private Pain In Public Pews Part II takes us deeper into the spiral of Pain within the Pews. Dr. Spencer holds nothing back in her sequel "Prayer Still Works" and unveils a dramatic battle between good and evil rarely seen before on stage. With her clever balance of drama and comedy, the play makes taboo issues much easier to talk about and deal with. If you thought Part 1 was provoking, hold on to your Pews. A new chapter of Real Talk begins....

PRIVATE PAIN IN PUBLIC PEWS
FIRST TIME PLAYWRIGHT IS A HIT WITH AUDIENCES, RETURNS FOR ENCORE SHOWS

Private Pain in Public Pews played to sold out audiences when it debuted in Toronto last Spring. Now, first time playwright Dr. Elaine Brown Spencer is giving more people the chance to see everyone’s new favourite gospel show. With absolutely no theatrical training, Dr. Elaine Brown Spencer’s FIRST play is a timeless production that the church community has fully embraced. It’s now back for encore performances in Ajax, Brampton and Ottawa!

The play deals with church secrets and the private lives that hold them. It’s no secret the Christian church has been experiencing a period of turbulence. From the Pulpit to the Pew, leaders and laypersons are falling from their pedestals one after the next with scandals of infidelity, double lives and money obsessions. But the real secrets are embedded in the stories of pain behind these scandals. And that’s where this theatrical stage play, Private Pain in Public Pews comes in.

The story focuses on Minister Terry and his wife Lydia who are admired by the congregation. But their picture perfect image is threatened when Terry’s old flame Tia, weasels her way back into his life. Terry tries hard to run from his past but ends up hitting a brick wall.

“The play addresses what we all know has gone on in the church, but we’re too afraid to talk about,” says Spencer. “It’s dramatic, thought provoking and funny! A bit of humor makes difficult issues much easier to talk about.”

Dr. Elaine Brown Spencer is a professor of Social Work at York University. It was through Divine inspiration along with her background in counseling that ultimately led her to write the book and adapt it into a play. “I was writing down some advice to share with a church member who seemed to be going through some hard times. And when I started writing I literally couldn’t stop. Those jottings translated into a book, which was the basis of the stage play”.

Whether you’re a churchgoer or not, you will be moved by this play, Private Pain in Public Pews will give you a lot to think AND laugh about. It’s a play that crosses all boundaries of traditional gospel theatre. It’s real, honest, and heartfelt. Don’t miss your chance to experience the show that will keep you on the edge of your pew.

Dr. Elaine Brown Spencer and cast members are available for interviews.
