Kenai Performers presents a live theatrical production of "As It Is In Heaven" by Arlene Hutton. Set in the 1830s, a religious community of Shakers in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky is changed when a non-believer has an ecstatic experience. Based on true events in the history of the Shakers, this play explores the impact that generational shifts have on established traditions and ways of life. “’Tis a gift to be simple,” sing the Shakers of Pleasant Hill, but as the young women in the community claim new spiritual gifts, Sister Hannah and the other elders must judge whether these gifts are authentic or the product of rebellion. Set during America’s surge of Utopian communities, this play wrestles with themes of belief and doubt in a swiftly changing world.
