The Amen Corner

This season the Guthrie welcomes the return of the acclaimed Penumbra Theatre Company for
The Amen Corner
starring Greta Oglesby. Sister Margaret Alexander, pastor of her
church, has devoted her life to serving the Lord, but when her son
unexpectedly reunites her with her estranged husband, she finds herself
torn. Featuring live gospel music by the renowned Fellowship Missionary
Baptist Church,
The Amen Corner illuminates the power of love and the price of salvation.
