UUCW members Joanne and Scott Kopischke, along with fellow member Matt Umstot and others, present a staged reading of The Narrow Gate, written by Scott Kopischke.
The Narrow Gate is the story of Galileo Galilei and his imprisonment by the Catholic Church during the Inquisition in the 17th century, told with elegance and a sly sense of humor.
Though forced to recant his theories by the Office of the Inquisition to stave off threats to his family, Galileo’s indomitable spirit and thirst for knowledge and truth triumph while exploring questions on the nature of the universe.
Through the assistance of his servant and pupil, Katarina, Bishop Piccolomini, and his friend John Milton, he is able to complete his discourse on the two new sciences.
A free-will offering, benefiting Unitarian Universalist Church West, will be accepted at the door.
