Everyman’s Isle  by Neil Olsen is a one act, 40-minute religious parody of reality television shows based on the classic morality play The Summoning of Everyman.

The play takes place on the set of the reality TV Show Everyman’s Isle, as the Producer (God) sends the Critic (Death) to kick the star of the show Everyman off the island (the Earth). Everyman is stunned; he tries to find others who will go to the final corporate audit (the grave and judgment) with him. What follows is both fun and food for thought!

Tickets for this fundraiser are $25. Sponsorships (which include 2 tickets) are $100. Tickets will be sold after each Sunday service and during office hours; cash or checks accepted.  Tickets may also be purchased online HERE. 

The Cast includes Neil Olsen, Cecil Tengatenga, Jeff Klaus, Warner Marshall, Chuck Kaywood, Donna Violante, Rich Lamere, John Hoda, Allan Atherton, Jeanne Kerr (Asst. Director), Rev. Robert Sandine (Director).

Our community is coming together at Center Church Parish House on Sunday, June 2 after the Evensong at Trinity to celebrate Walden Moore with a down-home dinner of all his favorite dishes, made by his community friends. There is no cost to attend but we encourage you to either cook one of the menu items listed or make a donation if you prefer not to cook. (You will be provided in the near future with a recipe and desired quantity/size of the dish you check off). Registration is now closed. Please email kpicha@trinitynewhaven.org to join a waitlist.

As an Episcopal Church with a rich choral tradition, one simply cannot pay a fitting tribute to Walden without a final Evensong. All choir alumni are invited to join a special alumni choir—register below! Following Evensong, join us for a community dinner at Center Church Parish House. The dinner will be a potluck featuring a detailed menu of some of Walden’s favorite foods. Everyone attending the dinner will be asked to bring a dish from the menu that will be provided or contribute money to purchase food.
