Church-sponsored community theater usually means familiar — and possibly redundant — stage fare for the supportive local audience. But the Bethlehem Players of Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Franklin’s Grassland community are mounting their first world-premiere comedy, written by noted Nashville playwrights Dietz Osborne and Nate Eppler. Osborne and Eppler are probably most familiar to Music City theatergoers through their work as performers at Chaffin’s Barn Dinner Theatre. Eppler, however, has demonstrated particularly creative skills with his original works for children and adults, including the recent, well-received Filthy Rich. Here the coauthors follow the template provided by popular Southern comedies in the vein of Steel Magnolias or Dearly Beloved. Osborne directs, and the cast includes Kandace Christian, Debbie Robinson and Lisha Pope.
