Tonight, the Chase Gymnasium will be packed with current and prospective students for Biola’s annual Mock Rock competition. Five teams (Encore, Bropoc, Men of Honor, Hawt Pocketz and Heroes) will compete in a lip-sync dance battle for the title of Mock Rock Champions. Leaders from each team shared hints about their team’s theme for tonight, and how their set might look a little different this year.

In this episode, we sit down with the crew of Biola’s one-act shows “Gun and a Motel Bible” and “No Exit”. Check out the full interviews on the Biola Backstage podcast.

The show “Gun and a Motel Bible” captures the struggles of Pete as he carries the weight of revenge against his wife’s lover. As Pete waits out in a motel to commit his act of vengeance, he is accompanied by Gideon, a personified Bible, who tries to convince Pete to abandon his revenge and not carry through with his actions. Pete and Gideon struggle through questions of faith, morality, and responsibility. As Pete draws closer to the edge of a life-altering decision, the show challenges its audience to consider the power of belief, the weight of pain, and the possibility of redemption.

Sartre’s play “No Exit” takes on an existentialist view of a world without God and a hell without God. In “No Exit” three strangers–Joseph Garson, Inez, and Estelle–find themselves locked in a mysterious room in hell as they gradually realize that their eternal torment is, in fact, each other. The play grapples with themes of existentialism, human nature, and the effects of interpersonal relationships. The key line that “hell is other people” slowly uncovers itself as the characters slowly lose any trace of themselves on earth.
