About The Play
IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS is a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power of FORGIVENESS and FAITH, when we are faced with challenges in life, whether it's with relationships, friendships, marriages, family, careers, parenting and every other aspect of our lives. Two families, the Willis' and the Bradleys, one has a strong relationship with God and one does not. One family is financially stable and the other is wealthy. Both families have dreams and aspirations. Jake and Teri Willis are happily married with two children, Jason, a high school junior in Queens, NY and Gina, a senior at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Nick and Lena Bradley have it all - Nick is a partner at a major law firm. He's handsome and very successful. Lena, his wife, is an attractive, educated socialite, who has put her career on hold for the sake of her family. They have the dream house, wealth, and a son, Mark, who is a senior at Howard University. But looks can be deceiving. Lena knows that her husband has been doing more than just keeping late hours at work. Her marriage is in trouble. Teri, on the other hand is happily married to Jake. Their house is full of love and laughter. Teri can be over protective at times, but she's a very nurturing mother that loves to spend time with her family, especially during the holidays. Some of us put our faith in material things or in others opinions of us. What is the foundation of your relationship? From where do you draw your strength when things seem impossible? Love, loyalty, trust and a supportive environment are important to any relationship. These two families are confronted with the ultimate test. One Christmas Eve, a turn of events will change the course of these two family’s lives and catapult them in a direction they could never have imagined. When all hope is gone, can you trust God to make a way?
