Halloween play propels church into the debate on Prop. 8



Assembly member Roberta Mitchell was the deciding vote in support of same-sex marriage. Little did she know that she would soon have to answer for her vote to none other than Satan himself.



This is just one of the many controversial, yet entertaining scenes within "Oh Hell No! A Revelation of Hell." This is the third year for this production at Calvary Christian Center, which is located in Del Paso Heights. "Our desire is to put on a production that speaks to real issues that people are dealing with today." Points out Lorraine Feltus, the Director of Calvary's Theatrical Arts Ministry (TAM) "We knew when we came up with this idea, it would challenge some folks. But we are here to speak the truth, in love."



Calvary's Pastor, Dr. Philip Goudeaux has taken the lead in promoting support for Proposition 8 in the Sacramento Region. And while the primary purpose for the production is not necessarily to promote the marriage protection initiative, it does make it clear that there could be dire consequences if Prop. 8 should fail. "We see this as an attack on the church and our values, "declares Craig DeLuz, TAM Assistant Director who also plays the Devil. "Failure of Prop. 8 will not only have real consequences for the church and for the community in general. People need to know that.



Oh Hell No started on Sunday, October 26th and has been played before audiences of up to 3,000. It runs nightly at 7 pm until Halloween, Friday October 31st. Attendance is free of charge.
