A Change Is Gonna Come, is a fictional stage play that depicts domestic and mental abuse in the least likely place…from the pulpit of a church.  Pastor Sills is a well-educated, well-dressed, and well-liked preacher, who by man’s standards, “have it all”…a thriving congregation, a beautiful wife, and an abundance of material possessions.  But behind closed doors he transforms into a controlling, overbearing, temperamental, “Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde” personality who loses control of his temper at any given moment, and physically and mentally violates his dedicated, yet fearful, wife of ten years.  The consequences of his actions could lead to “deadly” results.  This is an eye-opening play that will leave its viewers “painstakingly” aware of the effects of abuse in the church.  You will experience a Christian woman’s struggle to display the attributes of a perfect first lady on the outside, while her self-worth and dignity is dying inside.
