"Imagine like having the power to create the entire world with a handful of sentences, or remotely impregnate a fourteen-year-old virgin, or parting a sea, or any of those like massive, real things, and then like, retiring."
When a youth pastor preoccupied with mercy and a teenager hungry for justice are thrust into the same room, will their fellowship end in communion or collision?
In Miraculous, it’s Josh (LUKE STILES), a high schooler brimming with arrogance, insecurity, and theological angst, versus Paul (DIEGO ZOZAYA), a devout young father wrestling with the challenges of spiritual leadership. Over a week of mentorship meetings at a Christian sleep-away camp, they fight to stress-test their faith. When their cage match about sex, sin, and salvation asks whether grace has limits, who breaks first?
Olivier Nominee Toby Clarke directs Luke Stiles’ debut play Miraculous — “a devastating piece of work” (The Peg). A Wiggle Room Production, produced by Brock Looser.
