Thesis (M.A.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 1998.

The Mennonites, a distinct ethnic and religious community, have traditionally shunned the arts, including theatre; however, in recent years the Mennonite community in North America, and for my purposes Winnipeg, has produced a significant number of writers, actors, and directors for the stage. Theatrical Re/Enactments of Mennonite Identity in the Plays of Veralyn Warkentin and Vern Thiessen first looks at the history of Mennonite drama, then follows recent developments in the work of two contemporary playwrights, Veralyn Warkentin and Vern Thiessen. In investigating their work, I focus on four plays that depict a range of disjunctions between artistic expression and religious beliefs and practices.

520 $a In the first chapter, I document past theatrical activity that emerged despite the Mennonites' declared opposition to formal dramatic presentations. In the second chapter, I outline the career of playwright Veralyn Warkentin and note how her plays Chastity Belts and Mary and Martha frame the conflict between religious submission and artistic freedom in terms of the community's treatment of women. In the third chapter, I look at two of Vern Thiessen's plays, The Courier and The Resurrection of John Frum, and examine how the different social environments in which he places his characters effect a disruption and critique of traditional Mennonite assumptions.
