Tilly
by Henry O. Arnold

Tilly was presented on January 17-20, 2008 at West County Assembly of God.

Destination Theatre Company presented this stirring stage adaptation of the novel by Frank E. Peretti.  Due to the intense theme, this play is not recommended for children under the age of 12.

A testimony to the healing and grace that God offers to us--even grace to cover our darkest and worst choices--is what the story of Tilly is all about.  In this touching play we meet a cast of characters grappling with the devastation of abortion and the reconciliation that comes through God's mercy and forgiveness.  Adapted from Frank Peretti's novel of the same title, the production addresses this tough subject in powerful and restoring ways.

Meet the Cast

This incredible story prompted many audience members to contact the theatre company or its members with their own stories of dealing with abortion.  The most frequent subject of comments was that of the stirring score by Jonathan Gathman.  Even among the cast members it became like an additional character in the play, contributing to the overall feel of the production through its melodies and arrangements.
