Synopsis
This Beautiful City investigates the growth of the evangelical movement in Colorado Springs.
While The Civilians were conducting interviews with people involved with or affected by the mega-church movement and the battle raging over gay marriage, the scandal about New Life Church pastor Ted Haggard broke.
Shaking the entire city of Colorado Springs, it provided the play’s creators with an unprecedented opportunity to capture an important event as it was taking place, and provided the people of Colorado Springs with the opportunity to express their opinions and concerns as those events unfolded.
This Beautiful City is a fascinating and timely look at faith and how it affects the American landscape.
