A Thing of Beauty
2026-02-28 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-01 15:00 - 17:00 | First Methodist – Downtown Jackson, TN, 200 S. Church St, Jackson, TN, 38301, United States
“A Thing of Beauty” is a powerful drama inspired by a few pivotal days in the life of Edith Stein, told through the character of Sarah Weiss, also known as Sister Fransisca. Set within the receiving room of a convent, the play explores faith, identity, and moral courage in the face of Nazi persecution.

This production is staged inside a church chapel, allowing the space itself to become the world of the play. The performance embraces simplicity and reverence, drawing focus to the actors, the text, and the spiritual tension at the heart of the story. Original music and restrained visual design underscore the interior lives of these women as they wrestle with truth in a time of unspeakable danger. At its core, “A Thing of Beauty” is about faith hard-won and fiercely-held, the cost of conviction, and the quiet courage required to remain faithful when the world demands silence.

Content Advisory: This production includes references to antisemitism, anti-Jewish rhetoric, and the realities of Nazi persecution, which may be distressing for some audience members.

Doors open half an hour prior to the performance.

Join us on March 12 from 5pm to 7pm to celebrate the opening of Pictures & Poems. Pictures & Poems is a collaborative exhibition bringing together contemporary photography and poetry in partnership with Little Oak Press, the Charlottesville, Virginia based publisher known for championing intimate, place-driven books and magazines. Pictures & Poems explores the resonant dialogue between image and text, highlighting how photographs and poems can operate as parallel forms of storytelling. Each art form is shaped by memory, place, and emotional experience in distinct yet complementary ways. The exhibition features photographs by Matt Eich, Al J. Thompson, Ash Adams, and Ocean Vuong, alongside poems by Doug Van Gundy, Tanio M. McCallum, Ash Adams, and Ocean Vuong. Together, these artists blur the boundaries between visual and literary practices, inviting viewers to slow down and consider how meaning emerges through careful looking and attentive reading. Light snacks and a decaf coffee bar will be available, so we hope to see you there!
