BATM hopes to bring even more chances for artists to learn and practice their craft, no matter what age or what experience they may have. 

THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT by Stephen Adley Guirgis August 4 - 7 at 8 pm

The Church at 6201 Detroit Ave, Ohio City.

A hard-hitting, innovative play that examines modern religion and causes everyone to ask questions about what they believe. The afterlife has become a courtroom where those who await their final judgement are actually put on trial. This particular trial focuses on Judas Iscariot, more commonly known as the Betrayer of Jesus. In this play, the assumed guilt of Judas is examined as the purgatorial courtroom calls such witnesses as Saint Peter, Mother Theresa and Satan himself. Donations are accepted but not required.
