Charles Breinig has been
involved in Cult Education for
almost 30 years. For an
outreach/education tool, Charlie
hired a friend, D. W. Gregory, to
write a One Act Play, called
Salvation Road. It is
designed to stimulate discussion and
make people aware that a cult
recruitment can start with a
surprisingly normal interaction
between two people. The recruitment
is so subtle and effective that the
audience understands how someone
could be the target of a recruitment
and not even know it. Everyone wants
to know how the story ends. Charlie
is located in the Philadelphia area,
and produced the play at the Walnut
Street Theater (Independence
Studio), this past fall as part of
the Live Arts Festival. He is
hopeful that schools, churches and
synagogues across the country will
produce the play to educate youth
and families. The play is not an
"issue" play, but was masterfully
written to be a compelling drama.
The opening night was sold out, and
reviews were fantastic.
