The Noble Thief (October 20)
Free Admission

• Friday, October 20th, 7 pm at the Baha’i Center, a performance of The Noble Thief, by Chris Hampton. A magnificent way to introduce your friends to the Faith without lectures or a formal setting.  If you haven’t seen this performance, it is anything but boring, involving humor, a thief’s struggle to find himself, and wonderful music!  Plan to come and bring many guests!
• A one-hour musical-drama, the performance tells the story of an arrogant thief that attends a home fireside discussion on the Baha'i Faith in order to scout for valuables to steal, but instead is transformed into a lover of Baha'u'llah through the patience and kindness of the Baha'is he encounters.
  Through drama, song and humor the audience identifies with the main character's recognition of the social ills of today's world, and the remedy to these ills his visit reveals to him.
• Chris Hampton, Chattanooga citizen and actor/singer is the writer, composer and actor of this musical-drama. Chris is a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. Chris is a husband, a father of three, and a local businessman.

This performance is in celebration of the Birth of the Bab (meaning Gate*); a Baha'i Holy Day.  The birth of every Manifestation of God is the rebirth of the world. In that simple fact lies the profundity and the glory of every day that is celebrated as the coming of God's messenger, be it the birth of the Bab on October 20, the Buddha's birth during the full moon in May, or Christmas in celebration of Jesus' birth. May we all find blessing within their light.

*The prophetic forerunner of Baha'u'llah much in the spirit of John the Baptist as the forerunner of Jesus.
