The timeless question of what is black and white when it comes to issues of faith, hope and love will soon be turned on its head. That age-old struggle will be brought home when The Ministries of Vanguard Theatre of Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Passion Players of Holy Trinity Parish of Ocean Beach World Anglican Communion launch their latest dramatic production, “The Sunset Limited” — a production set to premiere Friday, Aug. 28 at 8 p.m. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote the novel upon which the 2007 blockbuster “No Country for Old Men” was based, the production will run only one weekend in Point Loma. Presented as an intense and poignant staged reading, “The Sunset Limited” will likely get audiences thinking about what symbols they associate with good and bad, according to John H. Cochran, the show’s producer and director. Cochran also plays the part of Black, one of the play’s two-character cast. Retired Westminster Presbyterian Church pastor Mikel Taxer plays the part of White, the production’s other character, according to Cochran. “Those are symbols to represent his struggles with his [Black’s] journey through life with faith or without faith,” Cochran explained. “These two characters get manifested as two men who have been through life in a very difficult way and have found themselves confronting themselves with not having any faith and wanting to kill themselves,” he said. Cochran said he expects the public to be taken by surprise by the production’s opening scene. “The play starts out with Black saving White from jumping in front of The Sunset Limited, which is a subway train in New York,” Cochran said. “I hope [the audience] will find the message of faith, hope and love that comes of this.” Cochran said there are festive plans for the production’s opening night Friday that will include hors d’oeuvres and drinks at 7 p.m. The production takes place at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 3598 Talbot St. The admission price for the production’s premiere and gala on Aug. 28 is $25, and the curtain will go up at 8 p.m., according to Cochran. For the performances later in the weekend, the show starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29 and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 30. Tickets for these performances are $15 for general admission and $12 for seniors and military members. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (619) 222-0365.
