The Naked Mennonite

Real Live Entertainment—The Rachel Browne Theatre

Entering Rachel Browne Theatre, there was a flurry of biblical references being verbally pelted at creator and performer Alan Fehr.

I was unsure if I came to Fringe, church or “So You Think You Can Shun?”.

All in good faith (no pun intended), the packed theatre was thirsty. They were willing, wanting and waiting to talk and quiz the performer. Each answer had a comedic spin, his personal take and truth, as he continued to take requests. He gained their trust, confidence and 60 mins of theatrical devotion.

Fehr, with his charisma and encyclopedic Biblical knowledge painted (and undressed) his story of faith, doubt and the pursuit of identity as a Mennonite.

A play for all faiths (or none). Come to question. Come to learn. Come to grow.
