The CrossWise Players are a community drama group formed in 1991 at the Tyler Street United Methodist Church to bring quality Christian drama to the stage.

"Dozens of committed and talented volunteers have worked hundreds of hours to make sets, design costumes, and prepare this production to be professional and memorable."
