READ LAST YEAR'S REVIEW
(Due to unforseen circumstances, the MTA has decided to move the show above ground.)

Written by Dallas Theatre Critic Award winner, and Dallas Observer's Best Local Playwright, A Mysterious Way is a story of two men---a youth minister and a drifter. The men strike up an innocent conversation waiting for the same train. But, the encounter between the strangers becomes increasingly uncomfortable as the true intentions of the wayward vagabond are revealed. This dark, poignant drama takes a hard look at faith, evil, and the classic conflict of Man versus God.
