We heard about the pastor who used profanity from the pulpit during the Depression (he said rich people who didn't care about & help the poor would "go to hell" where their money would perish with them), as well as a pastor who was shot at (just like in Hollywood, the bad guy had bad aim), and famous folk who've worshiped at FAPC from time to time.
They glossed over some points (such as FAPC's role in the temperance movement) but still gave a general sense of when we were on the "right" or "wrong" side of certain big issues.

The cast assembles for a bow at the end:
It was nicely done, but the kids - particularly Derrick and Julia - naturally stole the show. They clearly love the limelight. Unfortunately, Derrick moved too quickly for my camera to catch him in his recurrent role as newsboy. He has an innate sense of theatercraft and a love of performing - a trait distinctly visible even in Sunday School!When they got to the modern era, they had some vignettes highlighting the homeless ministry and the decision of Rev. Weber's daughter to enter the ministry. The show's lighting designer (NominalMe) made a guest appearance as well, played by a man who could never conceivably be mistaken for him. It was a great excuse to show some more pictures. And it was very sweet, I thought, to see the actors and actresses play specific people who are currently involved in the church (including Joe Vedella and Rev. Weber).
