ST. LOU FRINGE - HERETIC: EULOGY FOR A CHRISTIAN EXPAT

My friend Kevin Bowman has a long history with the Fringe. He served as technical director for several years but had a story in him he wanted to get out. Our executive director, Matthew  Kerns, urged him to put it to paper and thus Heretic came to be. Kevin was raised in an evangelical fundamentalist church and, being an excellent speaker, was steered into preaching. It became a career but with time, over-commitment, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance destroyed his marriage and almost destroyed him. He left his past and started a new life. The story was told with tenderness and roaring humor..
