“Red Books: Our Search for Ellen White” is interview-based documentary theatre that explores the Seventh-day Adventist community's relationship with its founder, Ellen G. White. Using excerpts from some 200 interviews with current and former Adventists, the play travels through four generations of a religion and their perspectives on White to create a riveting discussion about icons — why they are built, destroyed, forgotten, and the impact on a faith community. "Red Books" reveals stories untold from Adventism's history — personal stories of faith and hope, as well as traumatic events that shook academia in the ‘70s. In bringing together the voices of a wide spectrum of Adventists, the play seeks to find our common ground in order to start the conversation about where we are, how we've come so far, and where we may be able to go.
“Red Books” is a production of the Dramatic Arts Society at PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE
