(upbeat music) - "The Big Quiet" is about two missionaries who confront faith, friendship, and inner conflict within the confines of a shared apartment.

Pygmalion Theatre's Fran Pruyn is here with all the details.

Hi Fran, welcome.

- Mary.

- Oh, another great show, women oriented that you're doing.

- Absolutely, this is about Sister missionaries in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints.

Usually we've seen a lot of artistic endeavors, writings, plays through the male lens, through Elders, but this is about Sister missionaries, and it's written by a woman who was a Sister missionary.

It's directed by a former Sister missionary, and of course, the team is filled with people who've had this life experience.

- Oh, wow, so a new story we get to hear that we don't really get to hear.

- World premier, first time out, Morag Shepherd wrote it and she's a really gifted local playwright and she considers it her best work.

- Really?

- Yes.

- This is her favorite of all 'cause she's done a lot.

- She's done a lot.

She's a gifted playwright.

- And so tell me about the two women.

- Okay, one is Sister Garcia and Sister Roberts.

And Sister Garcia comes to her mission, hoping to reconfirm her faith, and is very, very confused about it but she's really a great missionary, whereas the other woman, Sister Roberts, the other young woman, is very, very invested in her faith, but is a terrible missionary.

(both laughing) She just can't get people to listen to her.

And it's a little bit about how they interact about their crises.

It's a little bit about some of the food issues that Sister missionaries are having.

- Well, it sounds great, and thank you so much for being here, thank you.

- Mary, thank you.
