Writing Update...Introducing my sitcom Planet X

This last year I have been working on writing a sitcom. The premise is "how do we live the Christian life?" or simply "How do we live loving lives?" cause honestly there's so much information out there it's confusing. The show follows four neighbors who are young adult Christians and the observations of their atheist neighbor. The Christians mess up and learn from it...sort of. Welcome to...

In the Planet X pilot, Elizabeth the WASP protestant, who's fashionable and always "good" is forced to face that she might not be as compassionate as she believes. It discusses the Parable of the Good Samaritan...one interpretation of it;

While Elizabeth struggles to be kind to her new neighbor Jenny, the atheist who showed horrible manners as a guest at dinner, Lydia, Elizabeth's roommate struggles with having left her Conservative Fundamentalist parents.

The pilot is filled with hilarity...relationship faux pas, swearing, drug references, and a Netflix binge session. Cause that's what young adults do.

Come meet Skylar the Christian Player...what's that now? Elizabeth the "perfect" Protestant, Jack the nerdy Catholic, and Lydia, the nieve Fundamentalist. And hear all about these crazy Christians from Jenny, the sassy atheist New Yorker.

There will be a Summary Stage Reading of the pilot May 17th 2018 at Fuller Theological Seminary's Travis Auditorium 6:30pm. All the Fuller Theology and Arts Thesis projects will be presented.
 
Leave Comments or questions. I'd love to talk more about it if anyone is interested.
