By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kemick's book is that delicious cross between \u003cem\u003eWaiting for Guffman\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Studhorse Man\u003c\/em\u003e, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience.
