Goddess People by Mike Broemmel to be Produced in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - May 15, 2015 - PRLog -- After completing a very successful premiere run in Denver, Goddess People, a drama in three acts by playwright Mike Broemmel, will now be produced in Kansas City, Missouri, during the summer of 2015. Goddess People is the third play by Mike Broemmel to be produced in the same number of years.

Goddess People by Mike Broemmel is the tale of six people of different nationalities and backgrounds trapped in a shop as terrorist rebels lay siege to the surrounding village. Goddess People lets the audience inside on what becomes the most important 90 minutes in the lives of these individuals. The play is a character study of how six individuals respond differently to what may be the final moments of their lives.

Goddess People is expected to be staged for two to three weeks in August. Details of the run will be forthcoming in about a week.

Goddess People is described as a play ripped from the headlines of newspapers today. The plot and themes of the play are highly topical.

"I was inspired to write Goddess People in the aftermath of the brutal killing of James Foley, the American freelance journalist. I had occasion to watch the video of his horrific death and he had a dignity about him until the very end. This left me contemplating the different ways in which people approach their own impending demises," Broemmel explained.

Broemmel is no stranger in addressing controversial subjects in his plays. In The Row, he explores capital punishment and strives to humanize a man in death from in 1950s Kansas, a man convicted of a very gruesome crime. In The Baptism, Broemmel takes on intolerance, including religious intolerance, head-on and without apology.
